I love a good garage sale. I've noticed them picking up in Golden Gate Estates as well. Beautiful weather, people wanna get rid of stuff, need the money - it's a win win for all!
I just would love some sort of "official" Garage Sale listing somewhere. It'd be cool to have a garage sale map somewhere online.
Ken, who would love it on his site at http://free.naplesplus.us or even if Marco News or Naples News had it.
This was a great article, thank you! And you're right -- this really isn't like the Depression. It's good to get reminded of that.
Most people (including myself, I'm sure) would probably have an extremely difficult time adjusting to having to life as a lot of people had to during the Depression. I'd have a SLIGHT leg-up because my mother always taught me the power of "making do" -- but these folks REALLY knew struggling.
Thanks again :-)

I think Collier County makes a fantastic site for a set of horror comics!
Of course, he needs to have those zombies drive the main character from Pelican Bay out to Golden Gate Estates (my neck of the woods) and enter the lands of "yee-haw!", 40 foot Confederate flags fluttering on top of moving pickup trucks, bears and bobcats! Oh wait -- that's not a satirized graphic novel -- that's real life! :-)
Just kidding folks - although I think I met a zombie from Pelican Bay once with a zombie pink poodle, but I just can't be sure if it was real, or if it was Memorex...
Thanks for the saturday morning chuckle!

Great advice - it's just what I needed to find out about too! (I was never sure whether to fertilize citrus over the winter) --- and getting the "magic month" to plant vegatables always escaped me. I'd either start too early (August) or too late (Dec/Jan). Now I know that it's OCTOBER that's the magic month.

Very good looking site and fast loading!
I'll put a preliminary mention of it on http://free.naplesplus.us (as that will help you get great exposure on Google) on the 'Naples Websites' section, using your "About Us" information.

whew - it was like a mini-college course. I've been wondering how to feed my banana plants so that they actually produce bananas! I've been using palm tree fert four times a day - but only a sprinkling of it, spread thinly out to the furthest leaves. I do the same for the citrus trees (who are also not blooming!) with citrus fertilizer.
this stuff can be confusing as heck! I'm just happy to finally have mostly mastered pool chemicals :-)

Any chance for a picture of this beetle?
I've got slash pine dying in my backyard (we figured that the weird weather was killing them) and would like to be able to identify the beetle responsible and take measures against it.

Hey! Don't knock the TRS-80's - they're at least twice as fast :-)
Actually, I can't complain. My site ( http://free.naplesplus.us ) is dang slug in a world of rocket sleds. But that's 'cause I'm cheap. My hosting service is inexpensive and gives me lots and lots of space. Still, my site is faster than NDN, but then again, I don't have moving flash animations everywhere and the like.
A "text only" version button would not be a bad idea. I always take the "styles" off of a page when its loading slow. [it's the fancy fonts, multiple css layers, etc that makes it slower. I have the same problem - it's a tradeoff.]

I really want to thank you guys for percolating (love the phrase, as perked coffee is still my favorite - you don't French Press stories :) ) stories daily.
Once an hour, I ping your servers for a feed for my site, http://free.naplesplus.us - in the process of trying to capture ALL news from within Collier County. [in fact, there's SO MUCH - my website sometimes has some very slow response times as it tries to catch up with the news.
Some of the most interesting reading comes from your paper's RSS feed, and I really hope I can continue helping get people, who otherwise might not read your paper, to get to your website through mine, read the articles you guys/gals work so hard at and perhaps even help you sell a subscription or two or ten.
I really appreciate your hard work, and for allowing folks like me the ability to utilize snippets of your articles.
Thanks again - and please keep up the good work!
