Did some hiking earlier in Circle B Bar Reserve. Much more now and to come over at Swampy’s Florida.

What a father sets aside – March 2nd, 2016
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Mar.02, 2016, under Cartooning
Interesting what a father sets aside. Found a few decades of my artwork in a box of his. Newspaper art, comics strips, advertising pieces, comic books and personal artwork.
Spent weekend moving my father’s things to my house. Great thanks to brother Jeff Smith, his friend Steve and old pal James Goddard for the enormous amount of help! James even found a 40th birthday comic book I had done for him and his twin brother.

Book: ‘Countdown for Agriculture’ by Henry F. Swanson – December 31st, 2015

Countdown for Agriculture by Henry F. Swanson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an exceptional book of agriculture, Orange County and Florida history. Henry Swanson has laid out extensive, well-written and thorough history of the all facets of the agriculture business in Orange County. He even get into the public policy process and who has been involved. It’s an amazing work.
I’ve used this book for 30 years for reference. This is the first time, I believe, I’ve read the entire book cover to cover. I’ve always recommended it and now do so even stronger. Unfortunately the book is way out of print and hard to find.
I recommend this book. 10 out of ten points.
