| [25 Year Lease And Expansion In Key West Harbor] Monied interests claim no negative environmental impacts? Nonsense! When did the will of the people, as determined by the lawful voting process, become just a “guideline,” to be easily contested at a later date if the vote did not go the developers’ way? I hope that those with the final say on this matter oppose the 25-year lease and expansion in Key West Harbor. |

| Got to love the Islands For Sale on tv. Listen to the broker tell buyers to “clear a little bit of mangroves, put a 100’ dock right out there, bring in some sand, and you’re ready to go.” We may not like regulations, but thank God for Florida land and environmental rules. |

 [Deer Proof] In Home Depot yesterday I couldn’t pass up a flax lily. Never heard of it before, but for only $4.00, I had to take one home. I just looked it up. You Piners will be interested to hear that deer don’t eat it!It will grow in shade or sun and wants minimal watering. |

| [Antisemitic Provocateurs] GDL is a network of rabidly antisemitic provocateurs led by Jon Minadeo who recently relocated to Florida from California. GDL’s overarching goal is to expel Jews from America. To that end, they cast aspersions on Jews and spread antisemitic myths and conspiracy theories in hopes of turning Americans against the Jewish people. Later that evening, the same group used a laser projector to cast antisemitic messages on the stadium, including, “Jews outlaw free speech HP 269” and “Hitler was right.” The group then dispersed to distribute propaganda in nearby neighborhoods.

| [Intellect in Decline] My husband and I went through the McDonald’s window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c. She said, ‘you gave me too much money.’ I said, ‘Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.’She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said ‘We’re sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.’ The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the people at Mickey D’s. |
