Looking for late summer trip to Florida somewhere we can fly United. Any recommendations in the Fort Myers area?
I've taken my wife and young grandson (7 years old) to a couple of resorts just south of FT Myers at Coconut Point. The resorts are Hyatt properties. The Hyatt Vacation Club has condo type buildings with multiple bedroom units with full kitchens and a balcony. There are BBQ pits down in a nice cooking area and a golf course. The other is the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa. Both properties have multiple pools for kids and adults and both have extremely nice lazy rivers. Beach access is a free pontoon boat ride to the Hyatt leased private Island named Pelican Landing Beach Club that offers free beach chairs and has food, drinks and a gift shop on the Island. I've been to both each twice and have had a great time every time. There is also a brand new Four Seasons Resort right next door to these two properties that i'm sure is nice.

Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa
These properties are close enough to walk to each other and share amenities. The Regency has a huge slide area for the kids in a separate pool. The beach is a short ride away if you don't want to use the water shuttle service that is included with your stay daily.

Sam the Cooking guy does a nice one. He does his at 500 degrees for 5 min per lb. He stresses to make sure the oven is really at 500 degrees and prove it with a thermometer.

As a plant guy for 39 years i'd have welder near the bottom of the list of needed craftsman. Below is my list of most needed in order.
Instrumentation Tech
Electrician
Millwright
Machinist
pipefitter
iron worker
welder
crane operators
scaffold (carpenter)
laborers
Most piping and structures are now built off site at fab shops and or overseas and shipped to site where the crafts I just listed put those together.
*edited* - to add crane operator. I forgot those guys :lol:

re: Nick Reiner- Diagnosed with Schizophrenia

While no doubt schizophrenia is a very real and very serious mental illness, this feels like laying the foundation for the rich Hollywood version of “he wuz a gud boy, he dindu nuffin!”
If he had not killed the "rich Hollywood" man, ironically his father, and had killed some poor schmuck like a hospital worker or a cab driver or wal-mart person that is exactly what they would say. However, with this murder of a liberal golden boy, they will lock him away forever, as they should have done years ago.
I’m a Trump supporter and voted for him in every election he ran. That said, this is his last term due to term limits. If he were to force another election that he would run again for a third term than so could Barrack Obama, and he would lose to Obama in that scenario in my opinion. Two terms are enough, it’s time for new blood like Vance or Rubio.

Opposition to Newsome need to pile on if the gasoline situation mushrooms into the problem some think it will in California late next spring.
Yep, after Velero in Benicia shuts down in April it will get ugly. They best hope that Chevron in El Segundo doesn't cut bait and close down because that would have gasoline in the double digit price point.

They had a terrible air pollution, smog, problem and I guess it’s costing them plenty of money to keep it from happening again. Smog used to be a nightly joke on the Johnny Carson show. Pick your poison I guess.
Those were the days of leaded gasoline and no catalytic converters.

Do we think Trumps handlers told him how bad he stepped in it today?
Or is he just perfectly surrounded by clapping seals and can’t tell?

Free blacks owned slaves all over, especially in New Orleans. The largest slave holder in NC was a black guy. This simple fact destroys every Progressive argument about the Institution of slavery in America.
I ten second Google search says a man named Paul Cameron was the largest slave owner in NC with approximately 470 slaves.

They will simply wait a few days, send plain clothes agents inside and flash their badges and get their mark. Easy as pie. These people did the wrong thing by making this a big news story. ICE won't let this go. They gone.
I’d bet the majority of them don’t even pay taxes already.
