Me waiting on my wife, who said she’d “only be a minute.” |
[Quarantine] Every place we go is packed. Business is booming and we seem to be the only ones wearing masks. I don’t think anybody told them that there is a plague in the Keys. |

[Movies] “Flight” Denzel’s plane’s elevators were stuck in the “down” position so instead of diving to the earth he inverted the airliner and it flew up. He then turned it over again just before landing in a field. Is that really possible? The plane had wing tips that turned upwards. I don’t know what kind. |

[Friday Joke] My wife asked me what part of a woman’s anatomy is not important? He answered, “The vocal cords”. It was all downhill from there. |

[Key West Citizen Editorial] Facebook and Google publish our articles, sell ads off them and pocket the vast majority of the profit. They give us little in return. Because of this, as newspaper readers turn to the web for news and our ability to sell newspaper ads erodes, we depend more heavily on selling digital ads but find ourselves squeezed. With one hand the two corporate giants help us by distributing our news. With the other they siphon so much of the ad revenue we generate that we can barely survive. It’s killing us. Nationwide in the last two years, 300 publications closed, with more than 6,000 journalists axed. Link |

[Handouts] PPP money would be better spent if we were made to perform a service or job to get it. That’s what they did in the 1930s with the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC improved just about everything all over the country. People have PPP money and many won’t go back to work because of the handout. Money for nothing is wrong. |

[When Is A Holiday] It turns out that every day there are from 2 to 10 different holidays that surround us and make our lives happier. Here is one of the holidays that will be today Link |
[Friday Joke] After nearly 50 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the wife felt her husband, begin to massage her in ways he hadn’t in quite some time. It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back. He then caressed her shoulders and neck, slowly worked his hand down, stopping just over her stomach. He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm, working down her side, passing gently over her buttock and down her leg to her calf. Then, he proceeded up her thigh, stopping just at the uppermost portion of her leg. He continued in the same manner on her right side, then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent.
As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a loving voice, “Honey, that was wonderful. Why did you stop?” To which he responded: “I found the remote.” |

I disabled spell check on my cellphone and my life is so much better. No more screwy messages when spellcheck misinterpreted my intent and sent gibberish to the textee. |
