"Florida is a long state."


Spending two nights in St. Petersburg. Had a long day yesterday, waiting, driving, spending half an hour looking for my wedding ring that flew off at an Indian reservation rest stop ( great, right?).
The 1600 here looks like it will work later in the day and I just arrived too late last night to get it. The house sits on a corner, like several of the addresses, and one side faces west, which will yield good evening light, and the other side faces south. Ugh, south. This is three in a row that has a southern facing side and you just never get light from the south. The sun comes up in the east and moves across the sky west and except for maybe a few times a year, as a rule, you never get direct light from the south. Which is a bummer for me, but something you obviously just have to deal with. I took this picture of gps showing that sweet little flag of destination. Nothing better than hearing that "bong, turn right onto Pennsylvania Avenue. Arriving at address 1600 on left." Just beautiful.
