Crete

My old friend from high school Wolfie today offered to take me along with him to Crete, Greece for about a month with a friend of his from Jesup, Georgia. It is an enticing offer, but something I am just not up to at this point in time. Things upon the home front are tenuous and could turn bad next week, in that Melanie could wind up being laid off. As the only working person in our family, it would spell trouble ahead indeed.
The gusty winds destroying my work today and yesterday seemed but a sign to things that lay ahead. I know we cannot live upon dire predictions for the future, but our record over the past years since 2009 seem to bear this out.
Rick and Ridge and Jordon and I also planned about March 22 to take a week trip down the Suwannee. It is said I could do that anytime, but not really. In truth, I would much prefer a trip down the Suwannee any day to any trip to Greece or anywhere foreign.
 Plus, I do not like being beholden and destitute. So I messaged Wolfie to keep me in mind for his next big adventure.

Getting prepared for the UK vs UF game. I predict UF by 2 in OT. Ricky predicts UK by 8. I told him I would treat him to Beef O Grady's if he was right. I hope he is.

Tomorrow I suppose I shall venture out to Olustee early, getting in by the cemetery, saving $10. Done it every year. I will hang around the camps and take the usual. I hope perhaps to do something new, which is becoming a challenge. I will take two cameras, well, actually four, two DSLR's and two point and shoots.
Take some snacks. Hope Bumgartner and partners are there again. I did not see them in the parade today.
I enjoy sitting in their camp and talking or just listening to them.
I may stay for the battle, depending on the day and how batteries hold up. I have no spares this year.
