Downtown Tampa from Ballast Point


This is a beautiful view of downtown Tampa from the parking lot of the gym I recently joined. The city of Tampa owns the complex and it has all the equipment you would want for a good workout. The fee is nominal and you have to he is a Tampa resident.

I am currently not attending because the infection in my leg has flared up. Five days on antibiotics does not seem to have done much. The prescription antibiotic cream should work. I hope. If this gets any worse, I will be back to the doctor.


The view from here is like being a member of a country club. The gym is located next to the pier and many people recreating can be seen here all day. I always look to see if there are any photographing opportunities. That often depends on the atmosphere.

Anyway, I hope I get better and can soon return to the gym.

  1. I remember a 4th of July in 1963 at Ballast Point park. Watched the F4 Phantoms taking off and landing at MacDill all day long, they were just coming into service in Air Force at that time. The pilots were hot-rodding around the bay area. Hot, no wind, water was like glass.

Happy Hillary Halloween

Is there anything scarier than Hillary. Some would say Donald Trump, perhaps. My friend set this up on his porch and I thought it was pretty cool. It's not really a political statement, it's just trying to show humor. Keep in mind, that we do live in an era where people seem to have lost their sense of humor. Anyway, if he done it with Donald Trump I would have still laughed. Happy Halloween!

Yankee spring training photo shoot

I was in downtown Tampa this afternoon and saw a photographer working with a model in a skimpy baseball uniform. It had to be for some New York publication. The Yankees are here for spring training. There had to be a connection. She did have nice legs. posted from Bloggeroid

Wild Taxi Blog

Lets get wild baby This blog will separate my online presence from the cab company. I don't need to explain to management why I threw someone out of the taxi as if that were the kind of service I provide. Go to www.tampataxigonewild.com . I can cross a line here that I could not before. 

BREAKING: HILLARY COLLAPSES IN NYC, STRUGGLES TO WALK, LOSES SHOE, RUSHE...

And you thought I was full of shit. Hillary is dying and needs to go to hospice and let the Presidency go to a more fit person. The lies are beyond belief. You liberals would vote for her if she was dead on election night and in a coffin. Alvin Toffler was right.

The political decision process on Uber

Today at the hockey arena in downtown Tampa, all of the local Tampa Bay state representatives and senators gathered  for the transportation hearing. What was first and foremost on the agenda was the subject of uber and its relationship to the Tampa Bay community. Both sides offered their reasons many of them anecdotal in nature. (Senator Jeff Brandes from St Petersburg, the one Center in the picture, came across as an arrogant asshole. He was rude and belligerent and combative with all speakers. This is an example of someone who bullied his way into a political position, no doubt. Sorry for the sidebar). State senator Arthenia Joyner was the best of the lot. She asked the most pointed questions and dug deep into the real issues. She pointed out to the room that seemed surprised to find out that all of the fees that apply to the cab companies by regulation uber has none of that. There are insurance requirements, licenses and fees, and fees associated with the airport authorit...

Tampa from behind the wheel of a taxi cab

I shot this video a couple years ago when my computer was functional. I really need to get a new one. Anyway, I hope you like this. I did put some work into it.

2016 is 1984

We know the laws of physics, gravity, time itself is dependent on the bearing of the observer. If once immutable laws are relative, is our past an illusion? What if everything you ever experienced was just a product of your mind?. Orwell's  posters are gas lighting tactics used by the intolerant left to make you think what you know is real is not. They want you to reject what all the great thinkers for two thousands years have agreed on. Our history is going. The posters are being removed like Buddha's in the Afghanistan desert, The weapons of conquest are not simply bullets and bombs.  Rework prejudice, and hate against once eternal standards and you have weapons more powerful than nuclear energy because they are now found only in the minds of men. The omnipotent is now man, not a natural law allowing man determination. We are moving closer to jail. The free thinkers (conservatives) are now "the cool kids." They say bad words. They are free to be afraid. Thos...
