Hmmmm….I wonder what is meant by that reference? I suppose it has something to do with a lesson learned, or something like that.

Remember that line from the old TV show, 3-2-1 Contact—“The Tropics are HOT?” Ahhh, not so much.

A few days ago we visited the Koreshan Settlement State Historic Site in Ostero, near Fort Myers, Florida. The Koreshan Unity was one of several communal utopian communities that were founded during the late 1800s in America.
