A Big Thanks to Folks that helped me Friday.
Spent the day on the pier Friday while the Wife visited her friend in Pensacola. Spent to long in the sun and by the time I realized I was in trouble there was no way I could make it back to the Pier House. Tried to rest on a bench and catch my breath (pretty light headed) and a few minutes later woke up with on my knees on the pier and someone asking me if I was OK. They helped me back to the Pier House and all is well just pushed it to far.
Sorry I didn't get everyone's name but a big thanks to Norman (Fish Hook Earring), Randy (from the pier house) and Brent and his Wife Lisa Williams. There were a few other locals that helped and and believe me I appreciate each and every one of you.
Thanks a bunch.
Good news is I did come home with one decent Spanish that will be heading into the broiler shortly.

Pete---Glad you're all right. Ranger Randy assured me everything was under control when I offered water, and I saw that you were pouring ice water over your head---good move. I've had that light-headed feeling, too, and was lucky enough to be able to cool off in time. Hope to see you back out on the pier soon.

Gotta bring water man! and a ton of it! you don't want to be passing out do to heat man, that stroke is a killer dude.
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.
