Yesterday was our second day at Miami. Even though we are staying at Fort Lauderdale, we have been going to South Beach for all our beachiness. Yesterday, however, we did spend some time at Fort Lauderdale. We went to the lower parts of of the Everglades and got on a air-boat, drifted on water and saw a bunch of alligators.
Later at lunch we tried fried alligator, and I also tried a golden crab. The gator tasted great, I’ll try that again any day. The crab was good too, but by God it was a pain trying to get through all the shell and all. So no more fighting for crab meat for me. I’ll stick to the gators, chicken and fish.
Also news from the north says that Sylvee is doing fine. She’s a bit lonely, but I go back tomorrow and then it all goes back to normal.
Today was a bit different for me. To start I’m testing a HDTV tuner. I don’t watch that much TV, but sometimes I want to. HDTV has weird channel numbering schemes so I haven’t found all the channels yet. But we’ll get there. I have a couple of weeks to return the thing if I don’t like it.
The other thing is that I got a Rubik’s cube. I saw this really good tutorial online and wanted to really learn it this time. I could always do one side without a problem, but I figured it was time to explore further. And after a couple of painful hours with several mishaps that made me restart. But I did it!! That’s the big news for the day. Sorry to anyone who called me during then because I really couldn’t concentrate on anything else.
On other news, Big Cat is going to get a new name since some people are revolting against it. I’m thinking Vombol Daas. What do you think? The weird thing is that sometimes I get afraid that he’ll scratch me. It is weird because if anyone met me in the last year, they know I am all scratched up. But that’s by Sylvee, and she was there with me since she was a baby. Anyway, we’ll see whatever ends up happening with Vombol.
