Tacky Turtle Restaurant - Indian Rocks Beach

The Tacky Turtle on Indian Rocks Beach is gone!
We were over at the beach a few weeks ago, and thought we'd pop in for a Cuban.
The new proprietor said the Tacky Turtle had been gone for a long time - at least three months.
Three months must be a long time in Florida.
We were so disappointed.
It's now the Kooky Coconut.
The decor is all new, and the outside is painted to look like bamboo.
There wasn't a very good selection of ice cream - some of the tubs were sitting empty.
I hope the new guy makes it, but I don't think I'll be making a special trip over.
At least I have my photos of the place, and the ones I had in my last exhibit were a big hit.
I wish I'd bought a t-shirt last year, or a hat. Did they have hats?

Update: June 11, 2008 The site for the Tacky Turtle is also gone.

Best Grammy Performance Ever

I always thought it would be nice to be able to see this again.
Who knew You Tube would have it.
It's still as good as it was watching it live back in 1979.

Article from PC World

This article is a must read, especially for computer novices who work with computers and the public.
It's about a substitute teacher in Norwich, Connecticut, who was convicted of impairing the morals of a child, and risking injury to a minor by exposing as many as ten seventh-grade students to porn sites. The incident occurred in October, 2004. Her sentencing is March 2, 2007.
Here's the article:

Monday

So, here we are in Florida.
The new neighbor was outside this afternoon for a few minutes, so I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself. She had just come home, and was getting out of the car with, what looked like, a cake sized box from a bakery. I was wondering what kinds of baked goods were inside.
She set the box down on the doorstep and came over to meet me. She's from the mid-west.
After we exchanged names, she mentioned that her brother had recently died, and that she had just gone to pick him up and bring him home.
So much for a cake being in the white bakery box.
I wonder where she put it when she took it inside.

I hope the sun comes out soon.
It's gloomy enough here to be Syracuse on a spring day.
