MEXICAN BLUE BELLS

                                 THE BLUE BELLS ARE PURPLE.  THEY BLOOM IN FLORIDA EVERY SPRING.  THEY SPREAD ALL OVER YOUR GARDEN.   ONLY REALLY LOW FLORIDA WINTERS CAN KILL THEM.  I HAVE TO CUT MINE DOWN IN MY FRONT PATIO GARDEN BEFORE I LEAVE. 
I PAY EXTRA FOR WEEDING IN ADDITION TO A GARDENING FEE.  BUT HE DOESN'T ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF MY FRONT ENTRANCE EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN THE CONTRACT.  LAST YEAR THE REALTOR COULDN'T GET IN TWICE WITHOUT ME HIRING HER CLEANING WOMAN TO CLEAR IT UP.  THE GARDENER COMES EVERY WEEK.  WHO KNOWS?  TIME FOR A SECURITY CAMERA!
                                I WILL CUT THEM DOWN ON THE DAY AFTER EASTER.  THE CITY TAKES AWAY BRUSH ON TUESDAYS.  YOU CAN BARELY WATCH THEM BLOOM ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S SO HOT TO SIT OUTSIDE ALREADY.  THERE'S CONSTANT GOLF COURSE AND HOME AND TOWNHOUSE GARDENING NOISE HAPPENING.   IT'S PARADISE BUT ONLY FROM THE AC INSIDE LOOKING OUT LIKE THE BOY IN THE BUBBLE.  IF THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN IT'S HOT AND NOISY.
                                  I'M COMPLAINING.  THIS IS NOTHING.  STARTING MAY 16TH IT RAINS EVERY DAY.  BUCKETS OF WATER AND THUNDER AND LIGHTNING HAPPEN EACH DAY.  IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THEN IT'S A DROUGHT IN THE FALL WITH WILDFIRES ALL OVER.  OF COURSE HURRICANE SEASON REALLY MESSES THINGS UP IN THE SUMMER.  ALL THE DRY WALL IN OUR CONDO HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE 2004 HURRICANES.  ACTUALLY IT'S RARE THAT HURRICANES HIT UP HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA.  IT'S MORE IN THE TROPICAL PARTS OF SOUTHERN FLORIDA.  MY MOTHER'S HOUSE IN ST. PETERSBURG NEVER SUFFERED HURRICANE DAMAGE IN 40 YEARS.  IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING RIGHT NEAR THE OCEAN  WAS DAMAGED. 

MADE IN THE USA BEFORE OUTSOURCING

                                   SO IT'S BEEN 7 YEARS SINCE WE SOLD OUR DAMAGED CONDO BEACHSIDE AND MOVED TO A GOLF COURSE IN TITUSVILLE.  WE MOVED HERE BECAUSE OF THE UNSPOILED  25 MILE CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE PLUS WILDLIFE REFUGES AND ROCKETS AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER BLASTING OFF EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS.  THE SECOND TO THE LAST SPACE SHUTTLE HEADS FROM KSC ACROSS FROM TITUSVILLE ON APRIL 29TH WITH MARK KELLY ON BOARD.  THAT'S THE LAST ENDEAVOUR.  I WONDER IF THE PRESIDENT WILL COME.  KELLY'S WIFE THE CONGRESSWOMAN WHO WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD IN ARIZONA WILL BE THERE.  KELLY WENT TO THE PRESIDENT'S STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH. 
                                 THE LAST SPACE SHUTTLE FROM FLORIDA WILL BE ATLANTIS IN JULY.  THEN THEY'LL TAKE ALL THE SPACE SHUTTLES AND PUT THEM IN SPACE MUSEUMS AND CHARGE US $1.50 JUST TO SEE THEM.  THEY PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP A LAUNCH PAD OR TWO.    NOW IT'S BEEN OUTSOURCED TO RUSSIA.  GOT KGB?
