Plane-graphic[Big Bubba Is Watching YOU] F.B.I. caught spying on Key Westers. Citizens reporting seeing aircraft circling over Key West in recent weeks have been right. At least one of the Cessna 182s seen at the Key West International Airport recently is registered to KQM Aviation of Bristow, Virginia, one of the alleged fictitious companies outed this week by the Associated Press as being linked to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

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?
diademaThe Coral Restoration Foundation has out-planted 35,000 corals in the Florida Keys.  I hope they have more luck than they did out-planting Diadema (long spine sea urchins) whose success rate is about zero.
[Floaters] A 76-year-old man died while swimming at the Dry Tortugas Tuesday and a badly decomposed body was found in the water off Big Coppitt Key Wednesday, bringing the number of dead found in or near the water to four since Saturday in the Florida Keys.
pizza neonI will never buy pizza in the Keys again because I hate being ripped off with the garbage they sell for rip off prices that tastes like a stinking cracker smeared with red stuff and sprinkled with colorful tasteless toppings. Stick your stinking pizzas where the sun does not shine you bums!
[“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!

fifa soccer cup[My Favorite Scandal] I like world soccer’s FIFA scandal the best of all the scandals because it is international and no one was hurt. It is ‘just’ an international money making scheme gone awry. But really, I think a soccer championship outside, in two million degree heat, in Qatar was the straw that broke the camel’s (pun) back.

[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.

Why are the Florida Keys turning into religious cult hide-a-ways? Is this a good thing?
slingshot5You’ve tried church. You’ve tried prayer. You’ve even sacrificed the fatted calf, but God still won’t smite your enemies. Get the Jesus Slingshot. The Jesus Slingshot will help you do unto others before they can do unto you!
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.

rambler-trinidad00[“I wonder how long it will take for American car collectors to buy and ship all the old cars from Cuba to the US”]  I’ve thought that for a long time.  If Jay Leno isn’t down there already he’s wasting time.  Problem is most of them have been home-re-engineered to keep running to a point that there might not be much original remaining, but a lot of those bodies look to be in pretty good shape.

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.
