Nervous about twitching

A couple of things occurred today.


1. I saw one of these. Yes ! A cloud !! Which is just as well because it's been over 4 days since I last sighted one and I was starting to get concerned. Yes she is only a small one but she made a fly by at about 4 pm to remind me what she and her siblings look like.

2. I drove past a few more banks I have never heard of. Ready ?

Ever Bank

Synovus Bank (http://www.synovusbankfl.com/)

HB&T Bank

Coldwell Bank

M&I Bank

Key Private Bank

My alertness to new banks that I have never heard of has me worried that my personality is becoming somewhat similar in its fanaticism to that of twitchers, plane spotters or train spotters. 

3. I moved into new digs. A very very very generous friend of a friend who owns a condo nee apartment in one of the more desirable ends of town heard that I was in Naples and insisted that I use her  place as a base as she lives in NY and is only down here infrequently. Saves me money and I get to see how the other half live. The condo nee apartment is in a gated community about 6 miles north of the somewhat downmarket area where I was staying. Strangely the first thing I noticed was that once inside the gates the speed limit is a snoozeville 10mph compared to the 25 mph in the little community I was previously staying in. I guess the street planners where I was previously staying figured it's hard to take off in a stolen car with contraband at 10mph and hence the more liberal speed limit.

4. I didn't fly today. Morning theory class on cross country navigation ( more on that later ) and in the afternoon I sat the massive FAA Theory Exam for which I have been studying for over the last 8 days and which has a pass mark requirement of 70%. Am pleased to say I defied my own pessimism and passed with a score in the 80 percentile. Giddy up. Now on to the oral exam and then the flight check !
