Actually, it wasn't on Hwy 1, it was some dink on the Florida Turnpike
while I was between Miami and Orlando. A$$bag, pulled out in front of
me, speeds up to get next to an 18 wheeler then slows down and paces with
the friggin' truck!!! Why? Cause he's tired of people passing his lame
a$$? How is that my fault, oh well, the kids learned some new words,
actually they probably think Dad's an idiot cause I don't cuss in front
of them so I make up words.

I've never been on Card Sound Road, most of my time when I go there is
spent on the water. I have a friend who lives on a large boat down there
(full kitchen, fireplace, several guest cabins) so we stay on the boat
and hardly ever go onshore except to go out to eat once in a while. He
has a little boat he uses to commute to work and another I use to go out
and dive all day with it, the nice thing is he has about 20 air tanks so
I can spend about 6 to 8 hours diving and only have to resurface to
switch tanks. Then we go over to the North side of the Keys into the
mangroves and catch some lobster to steam up for dinner (and save the
body to use as chum the next day and draw in fish to look at). It was
nice I saw several Lemon Shark's and one Black Tip, I get more worried
about the Barracuda than the sharks honestly. I was able to teach my 4
year old how to snorkle a little and he did pretty good, I figure in
about a year he'll have it down. The only sad thing is all the damage to
the reef from the idiot's that don't know any better and the touch it,
which is killing alot of beautiful stuff.

But next time I go, if I get time I'll check it out.
