We even saw a few people even walking on water.

And then way far off we saw some ghostly sinister shapes on the water.

There were pelicans trying to catch dinner.

All sorts of foolishness was going on in the water. Not all of it can be explained. I mean I could explain it but you wouldn't understand it. I took 616 photographs on our trip, 282 of them have a "water" tag.

Our World - Back from Vacation

We are back from vacation. We went down to Orange Beach, Alabama for a week.

We hung out on the beach a lot. Some of us tanned, others of us got toasted.

We went kayaking one day. Nothing like kayaking through a busy bay.

One of us went geocaching.

We also listened to a lot of music, visited with some other friends of Tulsa, and even made a new friend at the urgent care clinic. 

Now that we are back, we just want to know when we can go on our next vacation!

Silken Prey by John Sandfod



Silken Prey is John Sandford's newest book. It stars Lucas Davenport, star detective of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, ("BCA").  Davenport has his work cut out for him this time. Murder, child porn, and politics all mixed up into a first class mess that he has to untangle.

(I love palmettos. We don't have too many of them in Oklahoma.)

Along the way he has to contend with a  female bodyguard who invites him to bed, a couple ex special forces body guards who are not quite that inviting and a Minnesota gubernatorial candidate who will literally do anything to get elected.

Check out Sanders web site for a better synopsis of the story. The bottom line is that this is a very good book, very readable, and not quite enthralling cuz at the end things get kind of confused and messy and loses its coherence. It is still a great beach read though. I give it four stars out of five.

From the Redneck Riviera, I'm trying to singlehandedly keep all the sunscreen manufacturers prosperous. And failing.
