[Speed Limit On 2-Lane Road] It looks like a hell of a lot of people need to attend driving school. The 45 MPH speed limit is just what it says. Not how fast you must go, but the fastest that the law allows you to go. No need to go right at 45, 35 or 40 is fine, just get over to the right side. The 45 MPH people can go 45. Maybe 46 / 47 if no one is looking. You will sit beside them at the next red light or stop sign. |

[“Driving to slow”] It’s easy for snowbirds, sightseers or old people to tell us to go slow, but these folks don’t work and have all the time in the world. |

Don’t try to peel-out if you have a heavy coffin in the back. |
[Sound Library] They are creating a sound library of underwater life. I think it would be a good thing if they created a library of all living sounds so future generations could compare them for evolutionary changes. |

[“Driving to slow”] I hope cops keep ticketing slow-pokes because in order to keep the flow of traffic moving we all drive 5 mph over the speed limit. This is excepted in the lower Keys and always has been. |
![]() Deer Friends, do just a little math and you’ll find that the number of Americans making less than $15 per hour has decreased by 20%! Hot damn, that’s great news. Hmm, how did that happen? |
[People] Most people are a**holes and they know it. Don’t believe me? Next time you see a group of people, yell out, “Hey, asshole!” They’ll all turn and look. |

[Tuesday’s Golden Retriever] After I saw that animation, I told my wife I wanted to get rid of our awful cat and get a dog just like the one on the CT. Only a dog will give you unconditional love. |
[500 Laps of Dead Silence] NASCAR considers racing electric cars. Not if, but when? Video |

[Voyeurism] If you see this camera “hook” in a public bathroom or hotel, leave immediately and call police. Link |
Man, I really liked the gif of that wagging Golden Retriever. I’d like to have it on my phone, maybe as a screensaver or otherwise. It’s heartwarming. Was only able to copy the image. Maybe you could tell your readers how to get it going on their phones. Nice and calming for troubling times. Thanks (Editor: try this. Open the CT > long press the animation > download. The trick is to save it to your phone then you can set it as a screen saver or send it to others. Or ask YouTube.) Video |
![]() [Oscar Slap] You know this country lost its marbles when the headlines of the news leads with one knucklehead slapping another at the Oscar ceremony. We’ve got a war, illegals invading our country, and more |
[“Driving too slow”] What a whiny lot. When I lived in Big Pine Key, before I moved to Spring Hill to care for my mother, If you had to go to Marathon, you had to turn right toward Key West and vice versa. You still do–there’s only one road. If you live in the beautiful Keys and have to rush everywhere, you’re doing it wrong. Move to Spring Hill or Hudson where everyone rides your rear bumper and takes the speed limit and stop signs as mere suggestions. |

The Second Coming isn’t quite what I expected. I didn’t think He’d be in a Honda. |
[“Slow drivers”] I hope to dog those posts that ripped into the 45 MPH speed topic were kidding about people going 40 MPH. I know the Keys are not like they used to be because of all the fruit loops that took over and drove out the real people. To read the input of this CT blog and take their views seriously is sickening. |

Wide load. |
Normal people think they’re right simply because there are more of them. |

[Slow drivers] I can’t believe 5 mph under the 45 mph speed limit can cause so much angst. And these whiners like to talk about how laid back they Keys are. Relax people, like the editor says, paradise does not come easy. |
