Buzzards - What is the Meaning?

This weather was a bit cooler this morning so it was a fast dive into the pool.  But it didn't take long to get warmed up.  I love to be able to roll out of bed and hit the pool every morning.  Like I think I have said before (a few times) I could get used to this lifestyle.

Judy saw what she thought were wild turkeys walking around outside the lanai.  A short time later I heard some little footsteps on the roof of the house.  I went out and discovered that our house had been invaded with not wild turkeys but turkey buzzards!!!  Man they are ugly things.


Tom says that if buzzards are hanging around it means that something is either dead or close to being dead.  There didn't appear to be anything around in that kind of shape and we made sure that the cat didn't get outside.  They would likely make quick work of her.  But all is safe and sound and they disappeared after awhile.

John headed out for a ride on his motorcycle to see some of the sights this afternoon.  Tom and I jumped on the bicycles and went for a 12 miles ride.  We managed to find our way to the Rotonda and looked around there a bit.  The Rotonda is an area that was built in the shape of a wheel.  There is a middle area and then the residential subdivisions radiate out like spokes.  Each spoke was supposed to have its own golf course and the canals run throughout the area.  When the market took a dive not all the areas were sold and it is still not totally developed.  A great concept but it didn't fully get off the ground.  There are lots of houses for sale in the area.  The wind came up and it was hard riding back to the house.  Good exercise for sure and after all we have been eating since we got here we need it.

Another day in paradise.  Until next time -  safe travels.
