He's looking at 2 jobs, one in Satsuma one in Jacksonville - they're both for CSX brige tenders. He even went down to the Satsuma bridge to see how high it is, and how comfortable he'd feel tending it.

He called and said that would be a total dream job, sounded like a kid at Christmas. The guy who works there (yep, he met him and shot the breeze for a while) says he almost missed Dancing with the Stars the other night, cuz he had a big ol' bass on his pole (on the job) lol. And if the tide is right, he might drag up as much as 150 shrip per throw.




The view from the bridge is stunning over the St John - the same manta ray swims by nightly, all the big local birds... ahhhh!

And here I sit, waking up to snow and highs of 40.



He found *the house* I want and took some pix of it. I can so hear my flip flops on that deck. I can already taste an ice cold Guinness... oh wait, that's cuz i'm drinking one!

He also says St Augustine promises the best ghost tours in FL and is bringing home a paper from the fort for me. I wanna check that out.



Only 7 people total applied for the Satsuma job, and he'll find out tomorrow how many there will be for the Jacksonville job. Being from OH may play against him, but the same guy is doing the next interview. So I told him to play up that he's planning on paying his own relocation, the kids are grown and we have the cash stashed to do it.
*keeping fingers crossed*
