This cute little Home Inspector's vehicle that I saw yesterday in Historic Downtown Ocala was impossible to ignore (I want one!). It was, IMHO, a charming mode of advertising and transportation for USA Home Inspections FL, and a great traveling reminder to think about having your home inspected.
Home inspectors are an integral part of the real estate industry, and should be an integral part of your own regular home maintenance, for preventative purposes as well as peace of mind. Here is the contact information for Chris Ulrich of USA Home Inspections FL:

These are a few of the horses from last weekend's Abbey Horse Festival in Ocala at the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion (October 2, 3, 2010).
These photos represent just a few of the horses, vendors, and exhibitions featured at the Abbey Horse Festival. The music was great, the food looked delicious, and the exhibiters were quite varied.
There were a few cowboys there too... see below.

It is easy to have Secretariat on your mind in Ocala.... there are beautiful thoroughbreds everywhere.
The horses and elegant Ocala horse farms off of 200 in the short video below are just a stone's throw from I-75, amidst shopping malls, strip malls, and ‘big box’ stores …. but you would never know it.
Some of the stores located along Highway 200 in Ocala include Sam’s Club, Dillards, Barnes & Noble. The Paddock Mall is located on 200. And then, there are the restaurants!
Breakfast today was at Mimi's Cafe off of 200 in Ocala, and it filled me up for the day. I ordered the Monterey Omelet, which came with home fried potatoes, fresh juice and a muffin. There was no room for the muffin, but the Monterey Jack cheese, bacon and avocado in and on the omelet would have made my Mama proud.
Mimi's has breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, and serves liquor. I didn't have any liquor with my breakfast. Mimi's also has a great 'to-go business.'

Enjoyed another great cheeseburger at Horse & Hounds Restaurant (off of Hwy 27) the other day, and took the long way out so I could drive through more horse country in Ocala. You will notice late September is not much different than late August, except (maybe) for the round bales of hay, and bigger bellies on many of the mares.
The video of my drive to Horse & Hounds for lunch (below) may induce hunger (and they go well with horses). If you enjoy videos and looking around Ocala, here are more videos on my video page.
Don’t forget there is a Horse Festival here in Ocala this weekend (October 2 and 3) at the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion.
