Sarasota is warmer than Detroit  12-20-14

I have made it very clear to my readers how much I enjoy Sarasota Florida. For instance, as I post this the temperature at 1 pm. in the afternoon is 73 degrees and very sunny. In Detroit, my (whoopee) hometown, it is 31 degrees. I am sitting on my screened-in patio...barefoot, wearing shorts. In Detroit, it is THIRTY ONE DEGREES!
I do not wish to sound like a whiner, but I had to run some errands yesterday, and I noticed an oddity about many of the places down here. I passed Hidden Bay Condos, Hidden Forest, Hidden Acres, Hidden Oaks Estates, and of course Hidden Harbor Marina. What did they all have in common? A HUGE sign proclaiming to the world WHERE they were! I have advised my regular readers that I have been taking some cases again as a private investigator. The name of the company I work for is Sarasota Discreet Investigations. But when I'm on a case, I don't wear a name tag that announces it to everybody. There is no magnetic sign on my car either. How can I ever trust an establishment that purports to be in hiding but broadcasts it with a 20 by 40 foot sign!?! Isn't there some type of "Truth in Naming" law. And don't EVEN get me started on the words Jumbo Shrimp. And how about the time I saw a sign on a front window that promised "Women's clothing up to 75% off!" I pulled in immediately...with one of my button cameras on and filming...but every darn lady in there was FULLY dressed! Although I must admit that I was thankful that the patrons of this particular store remained covered, whatever happened to honesty?!? Back to Home Page Click here.
