They were repairing one of the parquet floors inside and we got a kick out of how precisely the pieces that would be removed were numbered so that they would fit precisely again when they finish:
Out of all the great pictures you posted today, this one was the most intriguing to me. I was stunned to learn that they actually put a number on each wooden slat, so that they would line up exactly, when they put them back. I imagine there must be tiny nuances between each one, with the expansion/contraction of wood from various climate conditions, foot traffic, etc. This is fun, geeky stufff!

What is that? Might be just the computer I'm on--looks a little dark. At first I thought it was chocolate cake, but it also has green leaves (garnish?) on the plate, so then I thought it might be meatloaf.

I'm as geeky as you - I was so fascinated that I took a picture...Out of all the great pictures you posted today, this one was the most intriguing to me.

When we were in Nova Scotia last summer they told us about a prison there where lobster was served every night to the prisoners because it was cheap and eaten only for people that couldn't afford fish.I love Maine lobster!!

Apparently, this practice went way back in history . . . (below from the Pacific Standard, "How Lobster Got Fancy")
Lobsters were so abundant in the early days—residents in the Massachusetts Bay Colony found they washed up on the beach in two-foot-high piles—that people thought of them as trash food. It was fit only for the poor and served to servants or prisoners. In 1622, the governor of Plymouth Plantation, William Bradford, was embarrassed to admit to newly arrived colonists that the only food they "could presente their friends with was a lobster ... without bread or anything else but a cupp of fair water" (original spelling preserved). Later, rumor has it, some in Massachusetts revolted and the colony was forced to sign contracts promising that indentured servants wouldn’t be fed lobster more than three times a week.

Shawshank would've ended a lot differently. Just saying. "Get busy living, or just stay put 'cause you get delicious lobster every night."
As much as you love Fla and the coast, I'm surprised you don't enjoy seafood that much. Is it just certain types, such as shrimp, lobster? Or is most of it a no-go?

I like fish, well some fish anyway...but shellfish, no thanks. When I make quahog chowder I cut the stomachs out and clean everything else really well. No telling what swill thse things have eaten....
