Alone in Florida - stream thoughts

On Tuesday, it will be a week since Roxane has left to go back to Massachusetts to be with her family. She has her own reasons for moving back. I have my own reasons about her reasons.

The mobile home is up for sale. I have had one flipper looking to pay only $2000 and now "if that." Then there was the offer to take everything off my hands so I don't need to get rid of it or bring it to the dump. I have been thinking of it and wrote a list of items that he would be getting. If he wants this items, he would need to pay for it.

So I have countered with $4500 with the stuff in the house... well most of the stuff. There is still quite a bit that would be coming with me regardless. In the mean time, I am still working on the pile of donation stuff to get everything slimmed down. I am going to need to get a hand truck.

My first EBay item sold. I am thinking that once this is all done. I am not going to be using EBay again. They are now charging for each entry. I owe them money that I know don't have.... hopefully soon, but right now nothing.

The debate about the Confederate flag is raging here in Florida. The divide is between "heritage" and "history" and it is falling down between race lines. The only people who I see defending the flag are white Caucasian people. I haven't seen anyone of color defending the heritage side of it. Right now, what people have been asking for is the removal of the flag on public properties, parks, monument parks, government buildings. They have no problem  - so far - with it being on private property.
