Well, this morning Day Light Savings time shifted in here and it is an hour earlier this morning than it was at this time yesterday. I have always opposed this shift in time, mainly because of the time it takes to change all the time on the clocks. Yet, this year I realize that I am at least one hour younger than I would have been if they had not changed the time. I wonder if I could persuade someone to set the clock back an entire day, every day for a year? Then this time next year, I would not have grown any older. We had a great time at the Stone Crab festival in Crystal River yesterday. We were somewhat disappointed in the festival itself. It seemed to be somewhat pared down or smaller that previous years, but did have several really good local area bands playing. We had the pleasure though of joining up with several of my old work companions and their spouses and spending some time with them. It was cool but not terribly cold. If it had not been for the wind, it would have not been bad at all. I think one reason the festival was somewhat smaller, was the fact that the nuclear plant in the area shut down a few years ago and really adversely affected the economy of the town. We did not eat any stone crab claws at the festival this year, although we love them. At the festival, all they give you is a wooden mallet to crack them with. Anyone that has ever ate any stone crab claws knows how tough a shell they have and how messy they can be if only using a wooden mallet to get to the delicious meat inside the tough shell. If we would have attempted to eat them, we would have ended up with shell and crab juice all over us and neither one of us felt up to that. Since we decided not to eat or tackle the crabs, when we left the festival we went to Neon Leons Cajun restaurant in Old Homosassa for dinner. Since we did not have reservations, we were not sure we would get a table, especially on a Saturday night, but we were in luck and got seated right away. The food, as usual in there was great and the band was great as well. The place is one of those that just has the atmosphere to make it really enjoyable. They even give you a string of beads with the menu. They advertise themselves as the only 5 star hole in the wall restaurant and that is really an excellent description of the place.
