All SNL impersonations are usually spot on.  Two favorites are Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer and Maya Rudolph as Beyonce.  Of course Tina Fey as Sara Palin was amazingly real.

In the movie 54 ,SNL alum Mike Meyers portrayed my late friend Steve Rubell.

You live in such a beautiful area. We live 15 minutes from our beach which is about 20 miles long. It’s lined with condos, a few hotels, a very few restaurants, and at the southern end, huge homes you can only catch glimpses of through the trees and shrubs. 
There are beach access points, but nowhere along that strip to get a broad view of the ocean and sand. 

 

How about Ponte Vedra  Beach?  Only 18 miles to the south of Jax.  Most area pretty remote with lots of walkovers from the other side of A1A.  Pretty beach.

I don’t think I can agree. Some are very complex and opinionated.

 

It seems here, the posters have been able to avoid posting divisional messages. 

 

We all hope that it will stay that way!!!!

That’s way down in South Ponte Vedra. The part where we walked over the dunes as kids to the beach is now multimillion dollar homes hidden from view. 
You have to get to the Guana Lake Preserve area to be able to park and walk on the beach. There are beach access points sprinkled all the way down, but when you get closer to Ponte Vedra they’re all but invisible, and with extremely limited parking. 
Right now we’re in Crescent Beach south of St Augustine, and there are a couple of beach access points that allow cars. We’re house sitting for our DD and SIL and enjoying their panoramic view of the ocean. The beachfront is built up all the way from St Augustine Beach down. 
I envy the people who can still drive along and see the ocean. It’s few and far between here.

@grapau27, @BonTexasNY,

 

Graham,

 

I truly admire your patience.

 

We all know that nothing "the state" gives us is "free" -- we have no choice but to contribute to the "freeness".... whether it is income tax, social security tax, sales tax, VAT -- you name it.

 

After paying all those taxes our entire life, we are at the point of even not being "aware" of it 😉

 

Some "states" give back more, some less, some -- not at all. It is what it is.

 

Dani, you sound like my Israeli sister-in-law.  Her mantra is  "Ain brayrah" - No choice.

Jupiter has the best beach views down here. A1A runs right alongside the beach, no  dunes between the road and beach, and you can park along the road, plus some parking lots.

She’s 7 now. On that note I could use a nap right now.

There are some that have different opinions at times but on this thread it is a peaceful place.

Have you been to Blowing Rocks in Jupiter?  Worth a visit. Unlike typical Florida beaches. 

Many years ago.

One sort of politician that really had a sense of humor was Ross Perot he had Dana Carvey do his impression at a birthday party , also in his private museum he had those bits playing, my wife works for a Perot family business so I was able to meet him a couple of times. 

Dana is crazy funny.

 

Our friend used to see Ross Perot at a small barber shop in Dallas, Preston and Royal area.  Very personable guy.  Actually both our friend and Ross are (were).😃

 

I worked for Bank of America regional office a few short blocks from Ross's Plano EDS headquarters.  It was Ross who had the vision to move his business up to Plano when there was hardly anything there but farmland.

Blowing Rocks, unlike Florida sandy beaches, is a outcrop of limestone rocks. Here are a few pictures.  Just North of Jupiter. 
 

 

Reminds me of Aruba.... the side opposite the capitol and seaport.

Better book soon.............rumor has it that capacity limits are getting close on some of the early ones!!!!

 

I hope that you can make it.................the 6/26 will be very special as the first US port sailing!!!!!

After going back and forth on dates, DH picked the July 17 sailing. 

He was up in smoke having to go back to Florida in just 2 weeks if we picked July 3 sailing (MY CHOICE) since we just returned home from Florida last night. Home is in NJ.

I picked up a friend on the boat today. He liked my board shorts.

Ain't she right -- those were the first phrases I've heard when I arrived in Israel.... and "savlanut" [patience...].

"We try harder" -- since "we" don't discuss "popular" items like tipping, bananas near mayo, dress code in MDR, etc. 😁

In normal times our hospital staff have to pay to park at the hospital's they work at.

From July 30th 2020 the charges have been dropped during the covid19 pandemic.
