To Boldly Go…
Today was another easy day.
We went to lunch at Sonny’s BBQ and then later in the afternoon went to see the new Star Trek movie.
I went in prepared not to really like it, based on what I’d read.
But I came away pleasantly surprised.
I knew they had made major changes to the Star Trek timeline. But they handled it well.
And they set it up for an entire new line of sequels.
The basic plot starts with the birth of James T. Kirk, but the real action starts at the end of his Star Fleet Academy training..
All of your old favorites are here – Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhuru, Sulu, Chekov, The Enterprise, etc.
Well worth your time…
Gliding thru the ‘Glades…
This morning we headed back up the Tamiami Trail into the Everglades to take an airboat ride.
We passed a place called Coopertown Airboats on our way down thru the Everglades from Ft. Myers and thought we’d check them out.
Not Us, but one like ours!
And it was a blast!
The water levels are low in the Everglades so in some cases we were airboating over mud flats and not water, but an airboat doesn’t really care as long as there are no stumps.
And there were alligators everywhere.
