Here in Florida...

I'm in Florida for Spring Training and on the way to my friend's place in Brandon, Andy pointed out this monstrosity. I took this photo on the fly from the passenger seat.Yes, it is the world's largest confederate flag. It measures 30 feet high and 50 feet long and sit atop a 139-foot pole. It's not that they are all General Lee driving Grand Dragons down here, although some may be, but they are apparently building a Confederate Soldier Museum at some point. Click HERE to read about the joys of Jefferson Davis' 200th birthday. Ironically, this jumbo remembrance of the war between the states is situated one exit away from Martin Luther King Blvd. off of Interstate 75.

Upon arriving at Andy's, I was introduced to their new dog, Phoenix the Beagle. I didn't take this photo, but it's pretty awesome. I dedicate it to Mega and her stupid beagle. This dog scratches and licks out of love. It's overwhelming, sometimes painful and rather gross.
