Manatee Sighting in Gulf At the beach in Pelican Bay in Naples, FL
2008-04-13 23:34:00 Today's open house at 400 Lambiance Cir #202 was pretty steady. 99% of the people coming through were working with a Realtor or have been looking at real estate in Pelican Bay for years. I did meet a nice couple from Chicago land. They had never seen Pelican Bay before and I enjoyed showing them the amenities that Pelican Bay has to offer. Speaking of amenities.......yesterday my husband and I headed down to the Sandpiper Restaurant at the beach in Pelican Bay for a late lunch. We just made it to the restaurant before they stopped serving. It was a crystal clear day. As we were eating our lunch, we spotted FOUR manatees out in the Gulf. I wish I had a better camera with me than my cell phone. That would have made a great photo! After lunch, the Gulf water was actually warm enough for us thin skinned Floridians to go in for a swim. The photo below was taken with my cell phone but you can see how clear the water was yesterday. A...
Two 93 Year Olds Caught in Manatee County, Florida Prostitution Sting - Ph
2008-03-26 18:11:00 "I haven't had that in years, Ninety-three is kind of old." Frank Milio explained that he was only flirting.Manatee County Prosecuters have gone ahead with indicting 93 year old Frank Milio for soliciting sex from a police officer pretending to be a prostitute. After the buxom woman gave Milos the eye, which he had not experienced in close to 50 years, he began flirting and offered her $20. About $3980 less than the going rate in New York, a sweat deal for a wrinkly old man with the prospect of sex with a beautiful young woman. Brings to mind the old adage that if something seems too good to be true it is. If Milio for some reason will not, or cannot offset his Social Security check to pay the few hundred dollar fine, he could get 6 months in the pokey which could very well be a life sentence for trying to get laid with a $20 bill."All I was going to do was talk, it wasn't for sex. I am 93, you know." Carlos UnderhillJohn number two, Carlos Underhill will not b...

Florida Manatee Facts: Learn About Our Gentle Giants
2007-11-21 13:51:00 The coastal waters of Citrus County, Florida, where spring-fed rivers flow into the Gulf of Mexico, are a favorite habitat of manatees.These very large mammals spend their entire lives in water, coming to the surface only as necessary to get a breath of air every minute or so, depending on their level of activity.Citrus County?s manatees, known as West Indian manatees and by the subspecies name the Florida manatee, are related to West African manatees, a creature called a dugong, and a now-extinct animal called the Steller?s sea cow.The word ?manatee? is derived from a Carib native word meaning ?breast? and probably refers to the suckling of baby manatees at their mother?s breast.Manatees are large animals.Adults weigh between 900 and 1200 pounds, and measure 9 to 10 feet in length. Their bodies are shaped like an elongated oval with a paddle-shaped tail providing effective propulsion. Baby manatees come into the world weighing between 60 and 70 lbs.Florida manatees have a low metab...
Manatee should stay on "endangered" list
2007-10-11 10:02:00 Before we get to part two of "World's Scariest Animals", I thought I would touch on an issue that has been brewing over the last couple of months: manatee recovery.According to an article in the Associated Pres, the manatee may no longer be classified as an "endangered" animal."The US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) says it's considering changing the classification to 'threatened'. An internal memo obtained by the Washington Post says Florida manatees are showing positive growth and adult survival rates, and no longer meet the definition of an endangered species.""The animals would still remain protected under the federal Endangered Species Act, making it illegal to harass, poach or kill them," they reported. &nbs-p; -; - &-nbsp; &n-bsp; &nb-sp; &-nbsp; &n-bsp...

Caring Not for the Manatee or Humanity
2007-04-09 16:53:00 The public overwhelmingly supports protections for endangered species. Yet the Bush administration?in its pernicious kowtowing to business interests?continues to do whatever it can to chip away at such protections, showing as little regard for species such as the manatee as it generally does for humanity. Such actions, as that noted in the following ...

Save the Manatees & Why I hate going to Food Shows.
2007-02-07 20:31:02 Though I constantly rip on it, Graveyard is not such a bad place. It has its virtues: beautiful sugar sand beaches, the nation's first wildlife preservation, world famous grapefruit, a vast botanical garden, a barrier island named for its rare and gorgeous orchids, an oceanographic institute, scenic kayaking, sport fishing and one emu farm. The one thing that truly never bores me is the wildlife: birds of prey, Blue and white herons, water fowl, giant adorable raccoons, cute little bunny rabbits (catfood, as we call them,) wild pigs, bob cats, box turtles, sea turtles and best of all: the sea mammals. The animals I could most live without- as you know- are the snakes. Goddammit. Grody, slimy, disgusting little snakes. Before I continue, I give you a past blog so you may better understand how close we are to these little fuckers. August 25, 2006: Snakes on a Baby. Okay, sometimes I have snakes in my house. Water Snakes. Small, cute, harmless. Still scary as hell if you hate s...
