Today's Opinions

Trout season remains closed until March first. Grouper season is closed until March 15. The pelagics are not here yet and likely will not roll into town until the full moon in March (21, first day of spring). The whiting which ARE in season seem to be in hibernation and are mostly unwilling to take any kind of bait, likely due to very cold water temperature. There is a small school of cow-nosed rays between Cedar Key and Wacasassa but they prefer clams over anything in the water and are totally useless in every way (unless you sell clam seed).

Last week I mentioned WiFi networks and their impact on the traveler's ability to keep in touch. WiFi can do much more than that; it can help you network your entire home.

First off, let me talk about networks in general.

One of the reasons I returned to Florida when retiring from the U.S. Navy, was to return to a warmer climate. When I left Virginia the Chesapeake Bay was frozen over - one of the worst, coldest years on record for the east coast of the Commonwealth State. The snow followed me all the way to Florida on that memorable trek back home. Florida is where I was born and Florida is where I wanted to stay and I was determined to get there.
