Frenchtown Beez will be on vacation in July. You can stock up Wednesday at the Bannerman Crossing farmers market or Saturday at the Frenchtown farmers market. Just finished harvesting 15 gallons of wildflower honey and the double strainer is downright hypnotic

Nice scenery at the continental divide.

They don’t get much use back home in Florida, but Debbie broke out her flannel PJs during our camp out at Black Canyon in Colorado. Quite a sight. The canyon too.

Just out of the Colorado mountains. Was enjoying roads in New Mexico without thousand foot cliffs when some clown tried to pull into my lane before he finished passing. Barely avoided a high-speed collision. Of course the clown car had Florida tags.

Our first hot air balloon flight courtesy of Debbie’s cousin Brittany. She earned her commercial pilot’s license last week.

Debbie wasn’t worried about how high we were. She just didn’t want to take a selfie in a hot air balloon 🎈

So in case you hadn’t heard, I’m doing a daily podcast on Florida Politics for Peter Schorsch, the brains behind FloridaPolitics.com. You can find it at Apple or at stitcher.com/podcast/splint…

Gary scooped me on my own announcement. Well done, sir.

This could have ended badly in the basement of a gun shop.

Just wrapped up the recording of tomorrow’s Sunrise podcast featuring a one on one interview with Rick Wilson... the OG Of Never Trumpers. He’s the Rickest of the Ricks. Check it out in the morning.

Got a text from my ole radio bud Jason Taylor today letting me know Debbie and I made the big time: we’re on Google earth suited up to work the bees. Looks like we were hiding from the sun when the google camera drove past

This is my first Veterans Day without dad, who ended his tour of duty last month at the age of 85. He was a bad ass during two tours in Vietnam and is still my hero. My thanks to everyone who served our country in the armed forces.

Note to Marco Rubio and Rick Scott. If this potato can grow a pair, you can too.

My daughter Katy and her friend Drew were king and queen of Tallahassee’s “Night to Shine” Friday and Tim Tebow did the crowning.

Enjoyed our first family meal at a sit down restaurant in two months. Tasty. But as we dined on the outdoor deck, I realized the dot over the “I” looks suspiciously like the coronavirus 🦠

Huge branch from 150 year old pecan tree fell on the bee yard tonight. Just missed the bee house and the car. The entire tree is leaning now and has to come down... but we were quite lucky

The pecan branch that fell in the bee yard last night is huge. 2 foot diameter at the base and covered with ferns. Hives have smaller branches on them but were not breached. Think I’ll leave the bees alone till it warms up

Today is the first day of retirement. Had a nice cup of coffee when I woke up and went right back to bed. I could get used to this. And I never again have to cover a press conference where our governor is being an asshole.
