True conversation:
It’s Dumpster Day, and the event is nearly over. A woman comes by carrying a paint can.
She: Am I too late for the dumpster?
Worker: No, lady, jump right in!
But yes, there are other activities in this Southwest Florida manufactured home community of nearly 500 units: Hot Dog Day, bingo, shuffle board, swimming pools, karaoke, bike riding, walking, art classes, ice cream day, trash and treasure yard sale, St. Patrick’s Day dinner, Valentine’s Day dance/dinner, etc.
I have seen only one other car with Jersey plates. Most of these fun lovers are from the mid-west.
By the end of the day, the dumpster was full.

Paul G. You asked for some recommendations and these are enjoyable. Paulie D.
Streaming Recommendations;
Ricky Gervais has a great series on Netflix called Life/Death. He also has a comedy special which is excellent.
Jack Reacher has a great new season on Amazon Prime.
Finally, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL is releasing two episodes of season four each week. Amazon Prime
The people of Tropicana, Ft. Myers Fla, are now (Feb. 2022) dealing with the tornado recovery, so much of the fun activities have been curtailed. And some of what goes on (or not) is influenced by fears of COVID.
Eileen and I are not ones to participate in organized activities anyhow.
We keep busy with mundane stuff like getting my car fixed, finding a rental car (very rare down here), cooking and shopping at our favorite Italian Deli/market, chatting with neighbors, crocheting (E) and blogging (me) We take a bike ride and spend time with futile searches for something good to watch on streaming. Any suggestions?
The best part of being in Southwest Fla is the weather.
Eileen and Paul
