Heading north to take care of stuff.

Farewell Sebastian Florida, hope to be back very soon.



Got to take care of business in Burlington Ontario then I'll be back.



While traveling through Virginia, I heard a really disturbing bit of news then saw evidence of what I heard.


Due to budget restraints Virginia is CLOSING 14 of it's 42 REST AREAS and I've heard similar stories in other states.


What about DRIVER FATIGUE, TUNNEL VISION, HIGHWAY HYPNOSIS, SAFETY BREAKS ? ? ?


Just how many deaths does it cost to keep a rest area open?



One sleepy driver killed per year crashing into the ditch because he was too tired to make the next exit,


Ten dozy drivers per year crossing the median crashing head-on into unsuspecting oncoming traffic because they didn't stop 196 miles ago at the last rest area,


One hundred drivers killed per year because they fell asleep behind the wheel and left the road striking whatever or whoever was in their path only because they couldn't find a reasonably safe place to pull off the Interstate and rest for a little while ? ? ?


I say keep them open and add more for safety's sake . . . and the occasional pee.

Let Corporate America fund them with advertising revenue and concessions. I'm not talking about full blown service plazas just small food and beverage concessions and advertising opportunities to support maintenance of the rest area.

How much can it cost to cut the grass, have a couple of lights on, supply water and clean toilets?

I'm just thinkin' . . . . . . .

Driving around in Sebastian Florida

I always take my camera with me, even while hitting the bricks looking for a job.










I never know when a Kodak moment may appear.

Hanging around in Florida

Well,

I have arrived in Florida. (a couple of weeks ago)

and YES, I saw Ruby Falls,

pretty cool.



I'm always amazed at the abundance of wildlife when I reach Florida.


From the Sandhill Cranes and Lizards that hang out at my mom's house


The Peacocks, Peahens and Lizards that hang out at my sisters house.

The Rabbits, Squirrels, Lizards and big bugs at my brothers house



to the fish, birds, Lizards and alligators along the River.


Oh and there are Lizards in Florida too, if you look closely you might see a few thousand,
pretty cool, they keep the bugs down.


anyway . . .

I like the local traffic.



NO TRAFFIC JAMS AROUND HERE!

Pete Harris Video

I just thought I'd drop a link to one of Pete's Videos





Listen to Pete's Music

maybe look at Optical Illusions, Web Animations or Truck Photos while you listen to Pete or see My Photography or Photo Blog or these sites on Road Safety or on Forklift Safety

Done, for now

Well, I've finished the music portion of Pete Harris Web Site for now and it's time to get back to complaining about lousy drivers and idiots that should lose their licenses forever for some of the stupid things they do.


Ah, but I remember how mellow traffic was around Sebastian Florida and around Micco and Little Hollywood. Maybe I'll get back to traffic tomorrow.


for now, have a listen to Pete's Music

Gone for a while

I've been gone for a while, but I'm back now.



I had to make a quick trip to Sebastian Florida to help with my Mom after a Hospital stay and have been away from computers for a couple of weeks so I haven't posted anything lately.

The timing of my trip turned out to be very special as the day after I arrived, my sister (Pam Harris) got a call to inform her that the City of Sebastian was dedicating a plaque to honor her late husband Pete Harris at Riverview Park on the upcoming Saturday which I was able to attend.



Listen to a sample of Pete's Music - Sebastian Song


Pete Harris was a song writer and musician. He was sort of a local legend in Sebastian and South Florida with his unique style and original songs about living in Florida.

Many of his songs were about Sebastian, Micco, Sebastian River, the Intercoastal Waterway and even about local people and places.

Pete had many followers from the Ft Lauderdale, Delray Beach and Boca Raton areas that would travel to see him at Ozzies or Captain Hiram's Resort while he was becoming an Icon in Sebastian.

Buy Pete's Music

Pete lost a battle with brain cancer two years ago but his memories and music will live on forever.
