Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL: Last night as we were about to watch a DVD we’d rented, our TV went off and the other electronics were very dim. Mike went out and checked our breaker which was okay, but everything was like on low voltage or something. Our little lights on our palm were really dim. So, we called the manager and she sent Dale (poor Dale) over to check things out. He couldn’t fix it and said he’d call an electrician first thing in the morning. When he came back he gave me a cutting from a “night jasmine” bush he has in his site. They only open at night and give off the most amazing aroma. So we had that wonderful smell all night. We ended up cutting all the power and opened up the windows. It was a beautiful, breezy night so we were quite comfortable. This morning we had a helacious storm. Thought we going to get some damage to our awning, but it was okay. They finally fixed the power at around noon. The box in the empty site three sites down from us on the corner had burned out and affected all the sites four down. It really poured off and on most of the day. Felt sorry for the parrots across the lake from us. I was afraid the screen room was going to blow down, but it didn’t. We watched the two movies we rented. “Killing Room” was the one I selected which was terrible. I wasn’t even sure what was going on half the time. The one Mike selected was “The Miracle in St. Anna” which was good but stopped working after 125 minutes. Unbelievable. Not a great day. It was even too dangerous to drive to Key West for a movie. Raining so hard, I’m sure there’s a lot of flooding.
