From the police blotter!!!!

A man was arrested after watching porn and masturbating in a McDonald's parking lot in Bonita Springs Thursday. It happened around 7:30 p.m. at the McDonald's on S. Tamiami Trail. When deputies arrived, they found a man sitting in a Mercedes Benz looking at pornographic pictures on a small laptop while masturbating. 

Apparently there was no "happy meal"-- or happy ending -- for this senior that day. 

No News!

Well, with limited or actually no participation coming out of Island Cove it has become increasingly difficult to post any upcoming events or activities being planned. We have noticed however, the Island Cove website is being updated with more frequency then it has been in the past which is very refreshing. One post in particular under the heading "2014 Entertainment Options" was well thought out and was our intention for this blog at its inception. Either way it's good to see that the concept has caught on and local entertainment options are being discussed and brought to the attention of others.

Cold shelter opens tonight in Fort Myers!!!  With temperatures headed toward the freezing mark tonight The Salvation Army in Fort Myers is opening its doors to men, women and children who do not have safe shelter. The Salvation Army is also seeking donations of a few hundred pairs of new socks, warm hats and jackets. God Bless the Salvation Army and all that they do but it has to be 20 below 0 before they'll even turn the heat on in the Midwest!!! 

8 Pilot Whales Found Dead off the Florida Coast

Eight pilot whales have died in shallow waters off Floridas southwest coast, with six others remaining unaccounted for.  The Coast Guard has temporarily closed the area to traffic and ordered boaters to reduce speeds off the shores of Fort Myers. These whales usually make there home at least 20 miles off the Coast of Florida, so when they do swim inland it's often a sign they are suffering from some king of disease.

Super Bowl 2014

Super Bowl XLVIII is set as the Denver Broncos knocked off the Patriots and the Seahawks beat the 49ers on Sunday. I'm expecting a good game, as everyone should be. It's the Best of the NFC vs. the Best of the AFC. The best quarterback against the league's best defense. Now all we need is a place to watch the game!!!!

Area Golf Course Recommendations....

As with previous posts I don't actually expect any responses to this next question but I'm going to ask anyway......during our next visit we are hoping to get out and do some golfing, that being said are there any area golf course suggestions?

Up Coming Visit

Ok, the weather in Cape Coral is considerably better then in the Midwest but with a planned upcoming visit near the end of January I'd like to see it a few degrees warmer. Keeping our fingers crossed!!!!

Some Heart Breaking News!

A big part of my childhood has passed away, Dave Madden, the actor and comedian who played the curmudgeonly band manager on the popular 1970s TV series "The Partridge Family," died Thursday at a hospice in Jacksonville, Fla. He was 82.

The cause was complications of the blood disorder myelodysplastic syndrome, said his wife, Sandra.

Madden played Reuben Kincaid, who managed the family band and clashed with the wisecracking pre-teen bassist played by Danny Bonaduce.

The Partridge Family, the last true American Rock and Roll band. Now name one of their songs????

And The Hits Keep Coming!

One of the greatest actors of our generation has passed away, Russell Johnson who played the Professor in "Gilligan's Island" has died. 

Johnson, who played Professor Roy Hinkley, died of natural causes at his home in Washington.

Johnson was on the show from 1964 to 1967.   Johnson was not in the original opening of the show.  He and Mary Ann were referred to as "The rest."  But Bob Denver, who played Gilligan, insisted that they be included and that happened later.

The Professor, along with Gilligan who passed away in 2005, finally got off the Island.

"It"s Gonna Be Cold Today"

Said one Floridian to the other........With the temperature in Florida dropping down to the mid 70's, weird things start to happen in Florida when it gets chilly. The two Lori's will hug their captains tightly around their once robust chest; not so much for affection, maybe a little, but as a shield against the biting wind. ARE YOU KIDDING !!!!!!! It's -10 degrees in the Midwest..........get over it!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

There's only one way to welcome in a New Year and that's with GREAT friends...........a big Thank You to Mariana, Dee and all those involved for throwing the perfect New Years party.
