I'm almost certain this is an otter. They are fairly common here in central FL. I don't believe Fisher Cats are found this far South.


I agree, fisher's natural range is much further north, like Montana and Idaho. Could this be a nutria?

My wife and I are planning an African photo safari for next September. There are over 800 safari companies and we're trying to find one that will maximize our exposure to the Big 5 and other animals. Everyone touts their area as the best...from Botswana to Tanzania to Kruger Park, So. Africa etc. etc. Any suggestions on where to go and who to use??


From what little I know about it, S. Africa has the greatest variety of wildlife, not the huge numbers such as would be found on the Serengeti, but the greatest variety. The company Abercrombie & Kent is consistently rated among the best, but pricey as well.

That was an era when people actually knew how to dance. And didn't have to show 90% of their skin to do it. The women look elegant with their dresses unlike today when they seem to feel everything has to be see-through and up to their butt.


These aren't mere mortals dancing, these are the greats, gene Kelly, Ray Bolger, Irene and Vernon Castle, The Step Brothers and the best there ever was, Fred Astaire. Then there's Ginger Rodgers, who did everything Astaire did, backwards while wearing high heeled shoes.

This was almost 20 years ago, whole new ball game now.

Buy guns AND stop immigration, If you have Grandkids are you at least a little worried about what we are leaving them.
Here in Canada we -well they are bringing in 25'000 immigrants, someone did some math and to bring these people in after 6- six- years in will cost the Canadian people $1.600.000.000, that doesn't cost the money to deport 1% of them.

I'm not to sure who said it but " Jail the Lawyers and Bankers.

You don't miss it till you don't have it anymore, and then you will never get it back :cry:

Mine is a family of immigrants, we've been in the USA little more than 100 years. In fact, we're all immigrant families unless you're Sioux or Huron or Seminole, etc, what you in Canada call First Nations if I'm not mistaken. Where would you be if that attitude prevailed in Canada when your family wanted to immigrate there? And what are the guns for, those you can't stop?

Thought this one was worth sharing.....maybe it will catch on around the world... :thumbup: :thumbup:


This is a well established, long time custom in Italy, where it's called, "Caffe' pagato," paid coffee. I saw it many, many years ago, on one of my earliest trips there and the simple humanity of it just blew me away.

I thought I knew a lot about music when I left college radio. I was Operations Manager of a small student station back in the mid-70s.

We had about 15,000 albums in our library. We played classical, many flavors of jazz, blues, bluegrass, rock, rock-and-roll, pop, jazz fusion, new-age before it was called that, German and Italian art rock, African percussion, and a category called "random experimental noise," but we had very little country music in our collection, for some reason.

The record companies only sent us the really cool crossover stuff, like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, NRPS, Linda Ronstadt, etc. So we never got the hard core country from Nashville's more obscure musicians.

So when my first job out of college was a mid-day post at a country station, I got a rapid indoctrination in a culture I had never known. It was fascinating, disgusting, hilarious, depressing, boring, and enlightening, all in the same breath. I don't miss it.

Sounds like one hell of a great way to make a living, not easy by any means, but a good time. DJ on a 24 hour Jazz station, one of my dream jobs.

I was a member of the 1sr Provisional Marine Guided Missile Battalion, I heard that it later moved to 29 Palms. Is it still in existence?

That's really Old Corps Bill! If I'm not mistaken, they've evolved into Third Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion (3rd LAAD) out of Camp Pendelton. Semper Fi !

I've always understood that a "Suspension Bridge" was suspended on cables stretched between two tall towers. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is a prime example. This one seems to be some form of a Truss Bridge. Am I missing something here? ...... Coot


I think it's more correctly called a wire suspension bridge, which as we can all see, is different from the Brooklyn, Verrazano or Golden Gate Bridges. If this is the one I think it is, over the Delaware River, it was originally built as an aqueduct.

Drone Racing Dreams
By ERIK OLSEN | Nov. 11, 2015 | 6:27


http://www.nytimes.com/video/sports/100000004029904/drone-racing-dreams.html?emc=edit_th_20151112&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=27824862


Drone racing is a sport (let alone an extreme sport) just like ice skating/dancing, rhythmic gymnastics and syncronised swimming are sports If you're not sweating, if it's done to music, uses ribbons, hula hoops or electronic devices, it isn't a sport.

Funny stuffy Terry, thanks, there is one I don't agree with however. I've found that when asked what's wrong, the speed with which a woman says nothing, is a direct indication of the size of the storm approaching and the amount of $hit coming your way.
