[Safe America] I feel safe when traveling in Buddhist or Communist countries. They are mostly safe. I go places over there that I wouldn’t go to here unless with an army. I’m talking late at night in all kinds of inebriated conditions. I would never do that here without getting jumped or worse. In fifty years of traveling the world I only had one close call and that one time I was completely sober! |

[Flood maps 2.0] Are coming out Friday. Any property in proximity to coastal waters are going to see a rise. I asked my home insurance company how high must I build? how far inland must I be? They told me it doesn’t matter if your built 10 feet up or you have a ground level (slab) structure, if your close to open water dig deeper in your wallet. Paradise is getting still more expensive. |

It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance. ~Thomas Sowell |
![]() [Black Box] I was watching tv about airplane crashes. Why can the black box (or orange box) survive the crash, and humans cannot? Makes me wonder. |
[Plan Ahead] Remember when selecting a person for marriage that as they get older, everything gets bigger, harrier and closer to the ground. |

Deer Ed, Thanks for persevering over the years, getting the CocoTele out to your followers. And I love how you’ve put politics/religion/conspiracy together on their own page. That seems like a very appropriate grouping. |

[“RE: the post with the Puerto Rico Flag”] You had a couple of question marks. Not sure on the first one other than perhaps like me you had no idea of the poster’s subject. The second question mark after ‘AOC’. AOC is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez the Democratic Congresswoman and announced socialist, and thorn in both Republican and Democrats’ sides, representing New York’s 14th congressional district. As an aside. Thank you for (as you describe it) “moved all the crap to National Politics.” Yes, thank you. |

[Summer’s End] The geckos have stopped barking and the cicadas have stopped buzzing. I recon summer is done. |
[Captain Doom & Gloom] The Key West shop keepers and brothel owners will do anything to empty your wallet including making streets walking traffic only. So where does one park to visit this over-gloried pass tense party pit? Why in the overpriced parking lots, of course. If you live in Key Weird suffer severely. And don’t forget to bring extra sandals to prevent hoof and mouth disease. The good old days are long gone. Amen. |

I am so sick of our younger generation. You can decipher them in one or two sentences. “I get it”, “the vibe”, “hey dude”. Unfortunately, their too young to have known their grandparents or great grandparents, the people that grew up and or lived in the Great Depression. These kids are part of the throw-away society. Some of them even hide in the “going green” movement. |

[Retirement] Well, the way things are going in the world today, this maybe the only retirement plans we can safely expect. |
After reading the Religious and Political Section of the CT, it is better to keep the sick people on their own page away from the some-what sane posters! Thank you Ed. |

[Friday Joke] Bob goes to see his friend Pete. He finds Pete in his barn dancing naked around his John Deere. “What tha’ heck are you doing?” asks Bob. Pete stops dancing and says, “My wife has been ignoring me lately so I talked to my psychiatrist and he said I needed to “do something sexy to a tractor.” |
