Dunedin, Florida: Signs Of The Season: Spring Cleaning!

Click for larger picture in a new window

Yes, indeed, Spring is in the air, and trash cans are in the street! Well, not quite in the street, but I think you get the drift. It's Spring! And the cleaning is what's going on! I can almost imagine what is it like for the garbage collection men driving their routes in Springtime and coming upon large groups of trash cans like this one. UGH!

By the way, if you haven't given blood lately, please think about giving soon! It doesn't matter where you live, or which blood service you go to, just get out and give!

Dunedin Florida: The Patriotic Spirit is Alive and Well

I spotted this VW Bug parked near the Dunedin Marina when I was walking back from the Dunedin Downtown Old Fashioned Christmas event. I have been looking forward to posting it ever since. I love this picture for so many reasons.

Let's review: First, it is a Volkswagen Beetle (Bug), and I LOVE VW Bugs! We've had numerous Bugs in my family over the course of the last three generations, and I would drive one again in a heartbeat. My own first was a '64 that ran on a 6 volt electric system.

Second, the way this baby is painted and decorated is AWESOME. I love the United States flag design. It's wonderful. And if you look closely, there are rope lights all over it. I just wish I could have gotten a picture of it while it was lit up. Not to mention the decal on the front window that says Greyhound Taxi.

Third, and finally, the front license plate. This is a license plate you can only get from Florida Blood Services. And what is the big deal there? Well, it recognizes the owner for having donated 26 GALLONS of blood! That is an enormous amount of blood donated. If you take it a step further, that means this person has saved a lot of lives!
