 Swimming Pools in Florida by deecat
We always make sure that we wear at least 30 Sunscreenb, and that we DO NOT swim or stay out in the sun between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.! Also, we always wear solar protective sunglasses.
Although pools are almost necessary in Florida, they should not be taken lightly; children should NEVER be left alone near a pool.
Even though these warnings seem to be obvious common sense in nature, they are necessary because so many people ignore them and suffer because of it. Leave a Comment

 Man-O-War Danger by tpangelinan
If you really must swim here, take the Adolph's Meat Tenderizer, I hear that takes the sting out on the way to the hospital. We only saw them on the Atlantic side, never on the Gulf side, but that does mean they are not over there. Leave a Comment

Small town 'law enforcement' agencies are a pain here just as they are everywhere else. Beware driver behavior, especially if you ride a motorcycle. There's excessive speed, lane changing without signalling, tailgating. Keep your vehicle locked at all times. Know your destination and route before you start out driving. DON'T EVER stop to pick up someone looking for a hitch. Don't stop to help 'broken down' vehicles. There are enough official vehicles and tow vehicles to help--besides, most everyone has a cell phone anyway. Someone may point to your car and indicate a flat tire. If so, thank them and just get to the nearest service station. Don't stop if they offer to 'help'.

The average size of adult alligators is between 13 and 18 feet (four and five meters), although one attained the length of 19 feet (six meters). And the average weight of adults is between 400 and 600 pounds (181 and 272 kilograms). Because of their size, they are very powerful and can inflict serious injury or death.
Most alligators fear and avoid humans. However, alligator attacks are frequent enough so that visitors to Florida and other states within the range of alligators should exercize caution while in or near water. Most alligator attacks are not fatal, but injuries are usually severe due to the alligator's sharp teeth and strong jaws. Their jaws can exert 1,000 pounds of pressure per square inch (70 kilograms per square centimeter). There were only nine fatal alligator attacks from the 1970s through the 1990s, but the number of fatalities has been increasing substantially recently due to the alligators encroaching into human-populated areas.
