A Big Hailstorm

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 13 Apr

I was at Disney World in Orlando on Friday night, and thank goodness I was! Back home where I live (about 75 miles north of Orlando), there was a huge hailstorm in my home city that did some quite extensive damage. We don't get...

I just returned from my 9th trip to Disney World of the year, a visit to Epcot for their International Flower and Garden Festival. But I didn't go to see flowers (although they were beautiful), I went for the food! Part of the...

Wildfire Close By

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 12 Apr

Wow, a lot has been going on this past week, so I'm slowly trying to catch up on things. This past week started out with a huge wildfire nearby that seemed to have caught everyone off guard. A few of you may recall comments or...

Okay, I'm a few days behind on this, but I did a lot of partying on Monday night and then spent the last few days trying to recover. My alma mater, the University of Florida, won its third national championship in basketball on...

The Rascally Raccoon

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 3 Apr

In my last discussion I wrote about a snake that visited us during the night when my son and I were camping. We had another visitor as well, a raccoon. Although raccoons are very common in Florida, and seem to be in high numbers...

Pollen (and Allergies) in Full Force

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 29 Mar

I came across this hilarious meme on Facebook today, and it speaks volumes of truth! I admit, down here in the southern part of the US we're not as cool as the northerners who get to shovel and plow tons of snow each year, but we...

Say that title five times fast! As many of you are aware from my last discussion, my son and I went on a week-long camping trip in a remote area of a national forest here in Florida. For the most part, the entire camping trip...

My son and I went on a camping trip together for a week, so I've basically not been around much. Usually, we do a wilderness backpacking trip this time of year, but we decided this time to just do a remote camping trip with a...

To File or Not To File

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 1 Mar

Do you think Elon Musk and DOGE will get rid of the IRS by April, or should I go ahead and file my taxes? The answer could have profound implications on my future well-being. I'm kind of rooting for Elon on this one. What...

Hidden Fees

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 1 Mar

I often do a lot of traveling around the country, and as a result I am a member of a certain hotel loyalty/rewards program. So I tend to stay at that brand's hotels when I can due to the rewards program and other perks. In a...

Cold Winters

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Jan

There are cold winters, and then there are cold winters. I was born and raised in Florida, and choose to continue to live here partly so I don't have to deal with frigid winter temperatures. I know millions of northerners...

Spring Cleaning

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Jan

Today was forecast to be a gloomy, dreary and rainy day as the Polar Vortex starts making its way down into the Deep South, so I didn't really make any plans to do anything today. But I did wake up feeling energetic and motivated,...

Christmas 2025 came awfully early this year! Let me explain: Back when I was on vacation between Christmas and New Years, my boss had texted me and asked me if I wanted a tv. I told him I would get with him when I returned from...

Have you ever come across a meme that described you perfectly? My daughter sent this gem to me recently, and it describes me perfectly. I am the type of person who can literally nap anytime, anywhere, and under almost any...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123713) • Gainesville, Florida 4 Jan

During my annual Christmas/New Year's vacation to Disney World in Florida, I took a day to stroll around and visit several of the three dozen resort hotels on the property. I focused on the resorts in the immediate area of Epcot,...
