| One of the permanent residents of Briny Breezes, Fla., takes a stroll on a sunny day. |
I've gone from doing no podcasts at all to cranking them out like a machine.
In Episode 61.2 of Mansfield's most popular podcast (I think), I explain and solve the mystery of the missing Episode 60 -- which I was going to call "The Lost Episode," but then I found it.
And because I didn't want to just waste a whole episode on what I did wrong the last time out, I called my old friend Alex Salachi, who's vacationing in Florida. As he is my broadcast partner for Mansfield High basketball telecasts, and as the season ended about a month ago, I thought we'd spend some time talking about how the two Hornet teams did this year and their prospects for the future.
We also talked for a while about where he stays in Florida -- it's called Briny Breezes, and it's a tiny trailer park not too far from Mar-A-Lago on the Atlantic coast that incorporated into a municipality about 60 years ago. There are about 500 full-time human residents there, as well as hundreds of thousands of tiny lizards (one pictured above) -- some of which can't get out of the way of a car's wheels in time to avoid becoming ex-lizards as we drive through.
The plot of land where Briny Breezes sits has been suggested in the past as a possible location of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and Adult Film Store. Indeed, a few years ago, an anonymous investor offered the municipality $502 million for the entire parcel. The voting residents turned down the offer -- but they did suggest that their heads may be turned if the offer approaches $1 billion.
There are other topics afoot as well, and it's 54 minutes of information and mirth -- and the link is right below.
