Was there God when the dinosaurs were around or did He come with the Neanderthals — or latter? (If so He probably didn’t have much to do in those days.) I’ve never read of any god before two thousand years ago. Is that just a clerical error?Seriously, when did man create the myth of a god? |

[“Rats”] Well I guess no one knows who to report a rat problem to in Monroe County. Maybe the FKAA or the County’s municipal building? If anyone knows about rats, they should! |

[Key West Botanical Garden] 2016 will be a grand year as the Garden celebrates its 80th anniversary. Just one of the things planned to commemorate this crowning achievement is to revise and update the highly received Garden Guide: 80th Anniversary Edition. You can be a part of the celebration by sponsoring a personal ad or notice to the Garden to be printed into the edition. The options are open and just a phone call away.The Garden is actively seeking summertime volunteers to help with greeting visitors, maintenance, preservation, Nursery and Garden work, Office help and event planning. The loss of our ‘snow-bird’ volunteer core has left us ‘short-handed’. No experience necessary, training will be provided. This is a great opportunity for student summer time activity where all volunteer time counts as community service hours.We hope you will enjoy the June 2015 newsletter of this month’s activities, news and updates. Join me in thanking Beryn Harty for her continued efforts in reporting the Garden news, offers and pictures. Link |

Where can I get the cheapest propane tank refills in Marathon? I have a man who cleans the grills between vacation rental tenants and of course, the guests don’t close the tank when finished cooking and as a result I need to run out and exchange and would like to charge the homeowners the least amount possible. |

[Carjack] If someone is in the car with a gun to your head do not drive off, repeat: do not drive off! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location. |

Looks like the sewer project has been castrated by the taxpayers in the Keys and it is about time. I doubt they had anything to do with getting this scam fixed, it was probably one of the con men who got scared realizing they could go to jail and be fined for pulling a get rich quick scam like the highway beautification game. Dog parks anyone? Ferry Boats to Cuba anyone? Aluminum railings everywhere? It is only our tax money they play monopoly with. Remember that. |
