Low Level IRS Agents Targeted Conservative Groups? Here you go Karl. Your nice little low level agents were the only ones who knew about the action to target conservative organizations? (Even worse in my opinion is they are career agents, not political appointees!) And this is from your beloved A...

Roses From Our Flower Beds These blooms are from one rose bush. There were about 35 blooms on the plant. We ended up with three vases with 4-5 blooms per vase. The rest of the blooms were falling apart or deformed or eat partially eating by pests. We only grow roses that have a strong, sweet frag...

Reptilian Visitor I'm Ready For My Close up!   This little fellow was running around outside the Kanantik Resort in Belize. He was not in the least little bit concerned with we taking his picture. He didn't start moving until the van taking people to the airport drove by.   He stayed behind the b...

More Storm Clouds, Purcell, Oklahoma   We are definitely trying to put an end to the drought of the last few years! It is great to see all the clouds roll in and the rain that follows.   These used to be called cotton ball clouds and were thought to be a precursor to tornadoes. These clouds (stor...

Fruit from Belize   Belize produces a lot of oranges and would you believe I didn't get a single picture of an orange tree? There were miles and miles of orchards full of oranges, so it became common to me even as a visitor! Coconut tree and two nuts trying to pick one! They convinced a local to ...

More Flowers from Belize     I have no idea what the flowers are but they are certainly pretty.   The yellow orange one is a Bird of Paradise, I think, and I have no idea what the red ones are. I just enjoy taking the pictures and sharing them with everyone. Maybe Roy can fill us in on the actual...

Ambergris Caye, Belize Clouds over the dock These were taken from our rented condo on Ambergris Caye. It was really a hotel that had the rooms sold off as condo units. Yes, we knew this when we rented it and we were only staying one night, so we went for the bare basics. The condo is the Mayan Pr...

Fishing Hut or Pelican Hut?   This little hut was on Sanctuary Caye or maybe just off Sanctuary Caye. You could walk right out to it and the ocean never got above your shins. While you were sitting in the hut the pelicans would dive right below the hut. Talk about having a bird's eye view of the ...

Kanantik Resort, Belize   Unit 19, Kanantik Resort That is where we stayed for 6 nights. It was less than 400 SF, but we weren't spending a lot of time in there. Mostly just sleeping and napping, which is just more sleeping! The construction was very nice but (intentionally) primitive. You could ...

Caribbean Sea Shore Photos This was at the Kanantik Resort in Stann Creek, which is central Belize. We took a boat ride to an island that was about 45 minutes away. They are called Cayes (pronounced Key). The island covered about 6 acres of ground total.   Sanctuary Caye This was very interesting...
