ON THE BACK BURNER

Just a word from the unwise, do not cut open your suitcase when you think that you left the key to it's lock in PT and you are in Venice. Look one more time, some place that you had no idea that that was the place that you put the key, so you wouldn't forget. Like in the back of the case of your iPad, along with your Mah Jongg card. Now what to do with a destructed suitcase? It's more overwhelming to return this trip. So much traffic from Tampa. So many new developments that weren't there a year ago. So much construction. I often feel like a Rip van Winkle,waking up to events that are completely out of how things were a short time ago. My driver that met me at the airport stopped for gas at a Costco that was in a developed area that had cows in it when I left to go back to PT.Now it is a huge Costco and the ground churned up for acres for new construction. Build a Costco and they will come. I am also overwhelmed by the welcome I am getting being back in Venice. Family is where the heart is, here and in PT.
