The Veterans’ Administration is set to open a new clinic in Cape Coral in 2012. Pretty fancy for a mere clinic. The city obviously hopes that ancillary businesses will be attracted to the vicinity of the clinic. So does North Fort Myers. The clinic is located on the border of the two communities. I [...]

Palm Island
I thought I’d share a few pictures we took on a trip to the island on the Saturday after Thanksgiving: Charlotte County‘s main barrier island (a small part of Manasota Key with some of Englewood Beach and Stump Pass State Park is in Charlotte County). The island goes by three names: Palm Is. (the north [...]

Manatee Facts (sort of)
We went out to Tarpon Lodge the other day for lunch. While wandering around the marina, I came across the sign about manatees. It’s a pretty good description of them. Manatees are a kind of totem around here. They’re completely harmless, have no natural enemies to speak of, and everyone likes them. Everyone I know, [...]

What to do, what to do….
I’ve avoided up to now giving direct advice. But if you’ve been thinking about this area as a retirement or relocation possibility, now might be the time. We’ve got a bunch of rentals, a product of investors tasking advantage of the depressed market. So, if you think this place might be meant for you, then [...]

Koreshan State Park
Koreshan is pronounced “ko RESH un” and has nothing to do with David Koresh of notoriety in the Waco debacle of a few years ago. It is a Hebrew word meaning “Cyrus” and is the adopted name of Dr. Cyrus Teed, founder of the Koreshans. How David came by the name is something you’ll have [...]

Love Bugs
I might have placed this little essay in the “bugs” section. But, in honesty, it is a reflection on ourselves. And, so, I was uncertain where to put it. Love bugs do what they do without apparent thought. Sometimes so do we. We don’t like to see ourselves manifested in the guise of insects. Nor, [...]

The Last Calusa
In the way of ten year old boys he put the bones into a jar which he then put on a shelf in his bedroom. The two story house was built atop an Indian mound, after the custom of the Calusa,on Pine Island, close to the edge of what is now the Calusa Nature Center. [...]

Everglades and Chokoloskee
We took a trip down to Everglades City and Chokoloskee the other day. Both are inside Everglades National Park and have a colorful history as does Flamingo around the coast, more or less to the southeast. Both are sleepy, peaceful places, in contrast to a past that was anything but that. Most people don’t realize [...]
