Homestead Rodeo

I went to the Homestead Rodeo yesterday. It had it all; cowgirls, rodeo clowns, bulls, a crazy rodeo announcer. I showed up late so I only got to see about an hour but at least I didn’t have to pay. And, it left me wanting more!

Here a cowgirl races around the cones.

Another new site

H Brothers started a new site, YouGotInsured.com
It will have health insurance information that is hopefully easy to understand, and to emphasize why it’s important for universal health coverage. Not quite as exciting as GrumpyChimp.com, but should be useful.

Everglades Canoe Trip

I took a canoe trip into the Everglades yesterday. There was this deadbeat pelican following us around, looking for a handout. I think it was hovering for about an hour.

It’s amazing how the trees reflect off the water. We took a narrow path through mangroves to Coot Bay Pond. We took a wrong turn and […]

Grumpy Chimp

I made a new site, GrumpyChimp.com
It’s about stupid Myspace quizzes, backgrounds, layouts, and hopefully will turn into a humor site. We have a small Myspace section on one of our sites that gets 30,000 page views a day so we thought we might cash in by making a good site about it. I really like […]

My office

This gazebo has been my office for the last month or so. Can’t complain. It’s about 75 degrees every day with a nice, cool breeze blowing through. I pile a few cushions up and sit with my laptop. That’s the beauty of working on the internet.

Wine Stomping

I went to a winery that uses tropical fruits like mangoes and star fruit. We did a wine stomp, crushing star fruit into the buckets. I dominated and beat these little kids by a few minutes. I think I win a bottle of wine, but they’re gonna call me to go pick it up.

Random people at a youth hostel

While there’s plenty of cool people at youth hostels, there’s always a few crazies. Here’s a couple profiles. I’m tempted to show their pictures, but I won’t
Old man, 70 years old, almost cries when he laughs, fled the cold weather, his wife, and creditors.
Door to door meat salesman, selling steaks and seafood to lonely housewives.
Divorced […]

Camping in the Florida Keys

I took a canoe trip from Card Sound road to Short Key. We braved the rough waters and about 2 hours later landed on Short Key. Remnants of previous parties showed over the island. We shared the beach that night with about 30 high school girls from a local school. I sprayed half a can […]

Fruit and Spice Park and the Globe of Death

I made a trip to the Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead, FL. It was a bit of a disappointment, especially because we had to pay. I was imagining a huge tropical garden filled with palm trees and tropical plants with huge leaves. There were banana trees and a couple other interesting trees. Some type […]
