Take a minute & salute all the #Florida #journalists who did their jobs & reported on #HurricaneIan while also dealing with the safety of their own families & belongings. Here's today's Fort Myers News-Press front page, reporting the destruction of its own town.

After much thought, I've decided to invest heavily in See's Candies. The actual candy. I think chocolate should be the currency of the future.

I use phone navigation a lot. But I still appreciate maps for getting the “big picture” of where my destination is, put in context with geographic features and other points of interest. The “big picture “ on my phone is simply not big enough.

So the White House coronavirus task force sends weekly updates to each state. @GovRonDeSantis' office has reports for 11/15 and 11/22, but it hasn't released them. Some media outlets have gotten the docs elsewhere and reported that Florida is in a "viral resurgence" of cases.

Leapin’ Lizards! It’s Maclay Gardens State Park, where son Sean Ruane and the lovely Nicolette Ritz wed! The reflection pond in the background is also a memory maker for Sean and brother Kevin Ruane.
