Lakewood Ranch Cinemas

I had the pleasure of seeing The Bourne Ultimatum at the Lakewood Ranch Cinema yesterday. It was the first time I saw a movie in these theaters. These are nice facilities and worth seeing a movie there. I thought it was interesting that they serve beer and wine. It reminds me of the old cinema draft houses back in the 1980's where you could eat and drink while watching a movie.

If you liked the first two Bourne movies you will like The Bourne Ultimatum. It was nonstop action with a good story.

Why does everyone think Florida is so hot?

As a Realtor I frequently work with buyers from outside of Florida. Potential buyers make comments about how hot Florida gets in the summer. Sure, it gets hot here but at least we are prepared for it. When was the last time you were in a house, car or store in Florida that did not have air conditioning? Quite a few of the homes up north don't even have air conditioning.

If you have been comparing Florida temperatures with the heat up north you may have noticed that it actually has been hotter up north.

High temperatures for August 9th according to weather.com:
Sarasota, FL - 92 degrees
Richmond, VA - 99 degrees
Nashville, TN - 104 degrees
Washington D.C. - 94 degrees
New York - 82 degrees (remember, few air conditioners)
Charlotte, NC - 104 degrees
Atlanta, GA - 101 degrees
Miami, FL - 91 degrees

Interesting video

This video does not have anything to do with Sarasota but it is interesting to watch. I saw this on the nightly news tonight. It is an amazing video of lions, buffalos and a crocodile in Africa. It is great to see the adult buffaloes ganging up on the lions to save the baby buffalo.
