This weekend we had family visiting. We decided to check out Webster flea market. Yes, we did remember beforehand that the market was only open on Monday. It had been many years since we visited so we checked google which showed the hours for the flea market as open on Sunday. So we headed out to Webster which is northeast of Hernando County. Well, the flea market was not open on Sunday instead there was a motorcycle show and parts swap.

I should be watching the Superbowl. I used to be an avid NFL fan. I grew up playing football and love the game. I have fond memories of watching Doug Williams, Steve Young, James Wilder, Mike Alstott, Warrick Dunn, Lee Roy Selmon, and many other players. These men were tremendous athletes that would sometimes do amazing things.
For over a week, Johnson Pond in Brooksville has been home to a flock of American White Pelicans. Johnson Pond is located north of Lake Lindsey Road near where it crosses US Highway 98.
The American White Pelicans generally winter on the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts. Florida's Gulf Coast is a popular destination for their winter home. They are rarely found on the beach instead they are often found in estuaries and lakes. The American White Pelicans are one of the largest flying birds in the area: about the size of a goose. They can grow to have a 9-foot wingspan.
In the small fishing Village of Aripeka there is a great source of fresh and frozen stone crabs along with other seafood. The Aripeka Stone Crab Company was started in 1985 and their store is located just before the bridge to Norfleet Bait & Tackle.
