So I've been gone for awhile, well not really. Work has kept me very busy and quite honestly, not a whole lot has been going on.
Wifey and I will be moving out to Clermont soon and we're way excited. It's only a half hour or so away from dad and the family so they'll be close enough to babysit for us when needed...LOL! And it's far enough out of the city we won't get a lot of the crime and overcrowdedness of the big city. I love having the convenience of stores and other things nearby, but Orlando has changed a lot the last 5 years or so..and not necessarily in a good way. Living outside of the city seems to be the way to go. We heard gun shots where we are now and we're not even in a bad area. Still, too close to the city I guess. November can't come soon enough. Then dad, my brother and my uncle can get their yearly workout in carrying furniture up a flight of stairs. They got a break, we were gonna be on the 3rd floor, then the date changed of when we could move in and we got bumped to the 2nd!
Also, the best time of the year has started, football season! Miami won 31-3 on Saturday. Great way to start the season and Michigan got beat by a Division 2 school at home and went from #5 in the nations to not even ranked. I'm indifferent about the "big blue" but the great thing about college football is the upsets from week to week. I love it!
Until next time....
"The parents of a man found naked and dead on the back of a killer whale at SeaWorld Orlando are suing the marine park, alleging the dangerous orca was portrayed as a huggable stuffed toy, according to a lawyer representing the family.
Patricia and Michael Dukes of Columbia, S.C., filed suit September 10, 1999 in Orange County Circuit Court seeking several million dollars for pain and suffering at the loss of their only son, Daniel, 27, a drifter who drowned in July in a whale tank at the Florida theme park.
Attorney Patricia Sigman said SeaWorld is legally liable because it portrayed the killer whale as human loving.
After the naked corpse of Daniel Dukes was found in a tank with a killer whale at Florida's SeaWorld, park officials determined that he had drowned after slipping past security and trying to swim with the whale.
Claiming that the park should warn visitors that the animal could kill people who enter the water -- aside from referring to it as ``killer'' whale -- just doesn't hold water, does it?"
