The Weather is here, wish you
were beautiful! What can I say. From now until the middle of April will be
beautiful. This is why most of us live here.
On Stock Island, just before
you cross the bridge into Key West, is Hurricane Hole. Next to Hurricane Hole
is the old Key West Drive in Theater. That area appears to be the next piece
of land ready for development into 'affordable housing'. We need cheaper
housing for the people that work here, but that is also the place where I like
to kayak in the mangroves. It won't be very long before Key West is all
pavement. The price of property is out of the roof. The value of our house has
doubled in the last 4 years. There is a booth (3' x 6') on the corner of
Duval and Caroline that is for sale for $20,000, or for rent for $1,000 a
week.
Big Foot, the cat that was
captured from the Truman Annex and taken up north, had a date set for a trial.
The folks from up north that took the cat didn't show. They have taken the cat
to their vet and received papers saying the cat is theirs. More later.

PS
My Vertigo (dizziness) is
getting better each day. The first week it was like seasickness. I sat still
and tried not to move my head. The second week was better, I could move around
the house without falling down. Tried to take the dogs for a few walks, but I
looked like some kind of drunk the way I walk. I have not heard from my doctor
on the MRI so I will get in touch with him Monday.
