Amanuensis Monday: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Amanuensis: a person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another; secretary. (Dictionary.com)

Water Wonderland, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

The concentration of cabin cruisers, house boats, sailing vessels, speed boats and all forms of water-borne craft is not exceeded anywhere by Fort Lauderdale,  truly the waterway wonderland of the world. This view looks east towards Pier 66 and Ft. Lauderdale's fine Beach. To the right is Highway A 1 A, a connecting causeway from the mainland to the beach. In the picture is a bascule bridge that is peculiar to the area because of the heavy boat traffic, that must move rapidly.

Hi friends,

Am having a swell time and getting a good time. Smoke from The Everglades has of yet been no problem here. Temperatures here from 80 to 85° daytime & 60 to 65° at night. Was it hot coming thru Georgia, 107°. Have driven around the city some and have not got lost yet. Hope the gang is all fine.
