RV Travel Is Safer Than The Alternatives.

What are we saving RV Travel from?

#ParrotSunday - Beautiful RV Park AND An Aviary? Heaven.

Periwinkle Park. Old friend and client, Linda McGill, sent me an email today that added an RV park to my bucket list. She suggested Periwinkle Park in Sanibel, which has an actual aviary on site, with parrots and other bird species. That sounds like a no brainer. I had planned on a weekend in Sanibel anyway, since I love photographing birds at the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge. But, I was postponing a visit since our own Ft. DeSoto has some of the best bird photography opportunities in the world. Thanks, Linda. We will definitely give Periwinkle Park a visit soon.

The RV Lawyer Gets A New Chair.

She liked my office chair so much I had to give it to her and buy another one for myself. Marriage is about compromise.

Wyze WiFi Cameras - Cheap Surveillance For Home, Office And RV.

Wyze Indoor Outdoor Security Cameras. Installation of a Waggle Temperature monitor in the RV this morning, in order to keep tabs on the environment when the dogs were in it, caused me to think about the inexpensive Wyze cameras that I had installed in the house and office. The little gems can be purchased for around $35, and have night vision, rotate 180 degrees, show full color images in daytime, and plug into any nearby electrical outlet. So, why not put one in the RV, for complete monitoring and security? Now, if a burglar enters the RV, I will know about it, and the micro SD will film them and store the video in the cloud. Even if they enter the RV, walk right to it, it is disguised, and they will be on candid camera. Here is a test photo of the live feed from this morning. So, Diane's yappy little dogs are now safe. Oh happy day.

Waggle - Monitor Your Pet In The RV Or Anywhere.

Waggle Pet Monitor. RV travelers have been flocking to the Waggle Pet Monitor, which monitors ambient temperature, and location by combining a GPS with temperature sensors, and connects to the Internet. A Smartphone app tells the owners the condition of their pets, who are in the RV while the owners are away. WiFi video cameras can be handy for monitoring homes and offices, and could even be installed in an RV. But, temperature sensors can prevent overheating of a pet trapped in an RV that loses power. The monitor is portable, and can be used anywhere, so it is not restricted to RV use.

Why I Prefer Being A Mobile Lawyer In An RV To Being In A Hotel Or Motel.

RV Over Hotel. While the Pandemic had a lot to do with my purchase of a used RV last year, it was other factors that make me happy I did. Not having to spend hours in airport waiting areas, and crowded airplanes, and renting cars, and worrying about other people, and paying a lot of money for a single ticket, and sleeping in a space that only had my imprint on it, and having inexpensive drinks and snacks available all the time, and having a work area that I was comfortable in, and not having to pack and unpack all the time, and not worrying about who cleaned my space, and whether they did a good job, and being able to come and go whenever I wanted to, were the primary reasons I am happy with purchase. Don't be fooled by the huge prices that recent vintage RVs command. No plus hundred thousand purchases for us. You can get a great RV for no more than the price of a good, used car, if you spend time looking. Mobile lawyering isn't much different these days, wherever you go, and however you get there. Smartphones, tablets and computers, which can connect to the Internet anywhere in the country that has mobile phone access, and Internet access that makes TV antennas and Satellite antennas and cable TV obsolete, make you a lawyer wherever you want to be, and it doesn't matter if you drive in an RV or fly in a plane. Of course, the RV allows you to see much of the real USA on the ground. RV travel isn't without its problems, of course. Equipment malfunction, and accidents, and all the other things than can happen on a road trip, can create a bad day. But, automobiles suffer all the same maladies, and airplane travel has a whole host of problems. So, while I will practice law until the end, I will take some time to smell the roses of this country, while being really a mobile lawyer, and keeping in touch with that modern marvel of communication, the Internet. You know how to reach me. If you want personal contact, Zoom or Google Meet me. We can be sure I won't be getting any diseases over the Internet, and that the only viruses I will be exposed to are digital.

Say Goodbye, Mickey.

Disney World Crowds and Long Lines. Let's see. Disney goes woke, and cancels characters because of their politics. Disney cancel Annual Passes for loyal Florida residents who spent thousands over years. July and August lines in 100 degree heat get even longer. You now have to have a reservation to get into Disney World. Remember the Magic Bands that allowed you to get a FastPass for up to three rides a day? Gone. Oh, and free speech went to Disney World to die. I have a final message for the woke suits at Disney. Goodbye.

Spend Some Time In Nature - Your Mental Health Is At Stake.

How Much Time Should I Spend Outside?  Spending a long weekend in the RV is one way that we get our time in nature. Today, we will be visiting the Mineral Springs Park here in NorthPort, and later swim in the Gulf of Mexico. This article in Men's Health Magazine outlines the benefits of getting outside for at least 20 minutes a few times a week. Cognition, memory, and feelings of well being all are improved. The Park has more minerals than any spring fed sink hole in the world, and has long been known for its healing properties. It has been claimed to be the original Fountain of Youth sought by Ponce De Leon, and he was killed on a search for it while anchored off of Charlotte Harbor. Maybe it will take a few years off of this old man. But, I will settle for spending some time in nature in Old Florida.

#TheMobileLawyer - A Year With The Nexdock.

Almost a year ago, I bought a $200 laptop that has no memory, no storage, and is essentially a screen and keyboard with ports in it. It only becomes a real computer if a Smartphone is plugged in, and effectively gives a notebook feel to a phone. It has a battery, so battery life is an all day affair. I don't use it a lot, because most of my productivity apps, like document assembly, word processing, and financial programs are Windows based. But, it has become my go to device for RV travel, and, next trip, I am going to use it exclusively, unless a legal project comes up. For students, Chromebook users, and others who don't require more than the Web when traveling, it is a light, easy to pack, easy to use, device that makes your phone into a usable computer.
