Here we go, covering my last trip of 2024 before I settle into this year’s version of the winter condo on the beach. The plan?
What I Like About Gainesville
Spendng time in Gainesville means visiting some of my favorite places in town and exploring what’s changed since my last visit. This time, I had plenty of both, along with some things that make Gainesville unique.
Hanging Out at Home
Legally, I’ve lived in Gainesville, Florida since January of 2018, for two reasons: you need a physical residence to be a registered voter and my friends own a home in Gainesville. But as my friends say, I’m their “ghost housemate” because I don’t stay long and I haven’t actually been there for two years.
Details, No Color
I worked on these photos a while back and then forgot to actually post them. Doh! So enjoy them now, whether you’re in the midst of weather goblins wreaking havoc with your life or maybe just recovering from a difficult day.
Southbound and Down
Once summer ended (here in the Northern Hemisphere), it was time to head south, all the way down to Florida, just in time for medical appointments, trailer maintenance, and hanging out with old friends. What I didn’t anticipate was dodging hurricanes and tropical storms, but then weather challenges seem to have been an ongoing theme for the last few years of my vagabond life.
