Oh it's a good day, for singing this song
and it's a good day, for moving along
Yes it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
It's a good day from morning till night
Yes it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
It's a good day from morning till night
Cause it's a good day, for paying your bills
And it's a good day, for killing your ills
So take a deep breath throw away all your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night
And it's a good day, for killing your ills
So take a deep breath throw away all your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night

The first song line is part of the Florida State song about a river that flows into the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida panhandle.
The next 2 verses are from "It's a Good Day" - a song written in 1947 by Peggy Lee and Dave Barbour.
The last is the Opening line in the Beatles song "A Day in the Life"
Why all the music, you ask? As of today Irene and I are officially Floridians. We've got Driver's Licenses and a bank account to prove it.
We got up early and went to the office at "the Wilderness" here and signed up for a lot for this COMING winter Nov 1, 2014 - March 31 of 2015. With that information in hand and the address we traipsed - (TRAIPSED mind you) from our Trekker to our Ford Flex - a whole 10' max and drove to the "Tax and Tags" Office for Silver Springs, Florida. Patricia, a T & T worker willing to help us while smiling away took our Indiana Driver's Licenses and Passports as proof of who we are. Then with our new address we applied for the licenses and registrations for our car. She even helped us apply for voting in Florida and canceling our Indiana voter's registration. (This is a Republican state, it only believes you should be able to vote one time per election). Eye Check! Click (Photo)! Print! Our brand new Florida license was handed to us before we left the T&T office.
Next it was off to the Regions Bank here in Silver Springs - about 100 yards from the T&T office. We opened an account there and sauntered off to our Flex to come home to eat lunch.
We finished with a trip to the Silver Springs "Post Office" a little "Hole in the Wall (literally)" "Contract" Post Office in the corner of a dirty ramshackle, rundown count hardware store just 1/4 mile away from the T&T office and the Regions Bank.

Getting back to the Trekker we grabbed a couple of Nutrisystem lunch bars (I highly recommend the Fudge Graham Bar and Irene love's the Double Chocolate Caramel Bar - O, what a diet!) so we could hit the road to get to our Mail Forwarding Service service St. Brendan's Isle in Green Cove Springs, Florida about 50 miles from Ocala.
We arrived at about 3:30 PM and got our mail and met some of the staff there. It's an efficient operation.
Now it was time to
PARTY HARDY!
A celebration was in order so we hit an Applebees in Jacksonville and then capped off the evening with some Cold Stone Creamery confections - THAT'S a "HOT DATE" for a studly sexagenarian and his sexy septuagenarian.
And so, now I close this Musical to the lyrics of Jordana Kay's "Walking on Sunshine"
o/` o/`
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)And don't it feel good (HEY!) Alright nowAnd don't it feel good (HEY!) Alright nowo/` o/`
For you young whippersnappers (50 years old and down) this was the closing line that Jimmy "Schnozzola" Durante uttered every night as he closed his radio and TV shows in the 1940s and 50s. Even today youngsters know his voice as the narrator of "Frosty, the Snowman"
