Hi guys --

I just moved back to Jacksonville in October, after being away from Florida for ten years.  I'm originally from Gainesville and have been living in the West Coast/Northeast for the past decade.  I'm *THRILLED*  to be back in Florida and Jacksonville has been awesome so far.  Eager to contribute to the discussions and excited to meet you guys.

Jason :)

Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Welcome Aboard. Do you fish or kayak?

Thanks, guys.  Nope, don't fish or kayak -- yet.  But what's the point of returning home if I'm not going to learn?  Really trying to pick up fishing... :) Any tips?

Go to the boardwalk in San Marco, River Road, and go fish with those guys. Friendly and they'll teach you a thing or two. Great place to hang out.

Welcome. 

I guess it would have been a quick intro if I read faster.  Oh well.....

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."
