Watch out for Manatees
Manatees, also called Sea Cows, average 10 feet in length and are often found swimming in South Florida waters. They are so prevalent that visitors in the Intracoastal might see signs to watch out for them. In fact, these creatures extend as far north as Virginia and as far west as Mississippi. Much like the "snowbirds," of the human species, these animals do not like the cold and tend to migrate here during the colder months.
These animals are non aggressive and spend most of their time feeding and resting. They are also curious creatures and like to investigate the habitat around them. Their favorite foods include grasses, leaves, algae, hyacinth, and hydrilla. They propel easily through the water at speeds of 2-15 mph.
Although it seems these animals are plentiful, they are actually an endangered species.
Approximately 3,276 are alive here today. The 1978 Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act established our state as a haven for these agile mammals. Water Parks, such as Sea World, also help rehabilitate those manatees that have a problem living on their own. Their biggest predators are crocodiles, sharks, alligators, and humans. Many manatees have been hunted for food or sport despite their legal protection. Others have been accidentally trapped in fishing lines and traps. Unharmed, manatees can live a long and happy life up to 60 years old. Friends of manatees can help protect them by reporting any harassing behavior or injured manatees to the Florida Marine Patrol at 1-800-DIAL-FMP.

Insurance >Home Warranties
You have just found a new home that you love and are planning to place your current home on the market. When the day arrives for your first open house, you begin to think of all of the things that could break down or go wrong. The air conditioner may stop working or your trusty old dishwasher might "bite the dust" the morning that the structural inspection is scheduled. Purchasing home warranty protection is one way to reduce these worries for you and your buyer.
The most popular warranty plans cover the home from the time it is listed until one year after the closing date. Although the details of these policies vary, there is usually a standard deductible of $35 to $100 (this amount differs from state to state). Many sellers purchase these warranties to make their property more attractive to potential buyers and to limit their liability in the event that a problem is discovered after the closing.
