| Brightest moment: |
Taking in the great turn-out at the event. |
Looking around at all the folks who came out to the press event and having lunch with fellow Sierrans |
| Oddest moment: |
Homegrown citrus rolling around the floor during test drives with the county commissioners. (Thanks to Sierra Club volunteer Mary Slater Linn.) |
10:00 PM visit to the famed psychics of Casadega -- surreal. Found a 24-hour psychic to gaze at our palms and discern the murky pathways of our future. |
| Best breather: |
Breaking away for lunch with Grandma. |
Hanging with the Wildlife Advocacy folks who showed us their 20-foot-long inflatable manatee |
| Best food: |
Organic grapefruit...from the collection in the back seat. |
The Bit O' Honey's I got at the gas station...haven't had them since I was a kid. |
| Saddest farewell: |
Saying so long to Beth Hollenbach and her great Eco-Action store in Orlando (closing doors after 10 great years). |
Leaving this really, really cool used bookstore/coffeehouse in Orlando.
|
| Best Casadega psychic prediction: |
Much happiness in both work and relationships. (Pretty vague, but I’ll take it). |
Economic prosperity in my future! The Sierra Club is poised to give me a raise! He couldn’t get a fix on upcoming Senate energy vote, but intoned that "good will always triumph over evil," which is good to know. |
| Most random Casadega psychic prediction: |
My mom needs to see an optometrist. |
I’ll eat more fiber when I'm old. |
| Most boring Casadega psychic prediction: |
Mounds of paperwork ahead – pretty much the same as Joe. |
I’ll have a lot of paperwork to do. Also, seems I’ll be driving some ways before returning home. But since I’d told him we started in Tampa that hardly counts. |
Tune in tomorrow when Darden and Joe go to Gainesville.
