The Mobile Minute 93

 I’m down in St. Petersburg this week (yes, for work)..and it is almost to that point where it starts to get hot and uncomfortable (IMO).  It’s just hitting 80F this week, so it’s still in the ‘nice’ range..and the view of Tampa Bay is beautiful.  I went to a somewhat interesting place for dinner tonight – Moon Under Water.  Good eats.
