The rare and endangered FORKLIFT apparently nests here, so be careful driving and don’t mow it down

There is a bar on the lower/dock level of Doc Ford’s on Fort Myers Beach. I walked down there to check it out and found this pretty rainbow stretched over the marina from behind the clouds.

My cousins from up in Cleremont are in town and I’m meeting them for dinner here at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille on Fort Myers Beach. I have been to Doc Ford’s on Sanibel Island several times and always liked the food – hope the expwerience this side of the causeway measures up!

Since my AT&T 3G phone service was messing up early in the day, there are some pics you guys didn’t get.  I’ve sent them up to Flickr – you will find just a few of them here -

I’ll try to get some more up there soon.  I took lots later in the day at the Holiday Inn, some of  which I already sent to this blog earlier today.  Right now I am super tired and I have not packed yet.  I might just go to bed and get up early to pack.

RED Stuff from Fort Myers Beach
as always, click the photos to see them bigger

When my buddy “Angel Wings” came into town a few weeks ago, it was my honor and privilege to pick her up from the airport and run her over to Sanibel Island, where she would spend a few whirlwind days making merry with some of her homegirls (party already in progress). But before we made the perilous crossing (aka, crossed the causeway to the island), AW wanted to stop off in Fort Myers Beach to get some shrimp. When we arrived at the Beach Seafood Market, I realized there was a bunch of RED STUFF in the form of signage, just waiting for me to immortalize it for RUBY TUESDAY posterity.

Here’s a handy reference, in case you want to stop for some shrimp, too. The address, as you can see, is 1101 Shrimp Boat Land. You take a left off Old San Carlos Blvd onto Main Street, which is just before the bridge that goes over to Estero, and then take a right onto Shrimp Boat Lane. They do pack the shrimp to travel. They roll the packages in layers of newspaper and you can buy a waterproof thermal-type little satchel to put ‘em in. AW already had one of those, but she was in such a rush packing to get outta Dodge, she forgot it, so she had to buy another. Well, next time she comes, she can take home TWO packages of Gulf shrimp!

So far, so good with our RED signs. Here’s one more. What’s wrong with this picture? I think it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the sign maker does not know that “other” should be plural, and that “expense” is spelled with an “s”, not a “c”. Moreover, it would appear that the owners of the Beach Seafood Market don’t know how to spell “expense” either. If they knew how, they would not have put up the sign. Oh, and it gets better. There are MULTIPLE signs, all over the parking lot, all misspelled.

That’s my Ruby Tuesday for this week – RED Signs from Fort Myers Beach. I think I would like to go back there and just poke around taking photos for a while. It was really pretty down there, and there were a few shrimp boats on the water out in back of the Market building. I’ll have to figure out what time they are all in port, and go take photos of the whole fleet of shrimp boats (anyone else hear the voice of Forrest Gump in their heads – “But, Captain Day-un…..” – when they hear the phrase “shrimp boats”?).
