The post-9/11 flight security changes you don’t see. A shift in attitude towards handling hijackings is just one of the many complex and often controversial changes instituted over the past 20 years. Link |

[“Going out of business”] Does anyone know what the Lutherans are selling their church on Key Deer Blvd for? Is the holiness part of it included? |
![]() [Robo Calls] Enough of the freaking robot calls. We are suffering with a world plague and all these blood suckers want is money donations 24/7, especially the police and firefighters calls. |
[“Texas abortion law”] Reasonable people can disagree about when a zygote becomes a “human life” – that’s a philosophical question. However, regardless of whether or not one believes a fetus is ethically equivalent to an adult, it doesn’t obligate a mother to sacrifice her body autonomy for another, innocent or not. |

The first water on Mars. |
[Captain Doom] I really do pity the politicos in the Keys when the low rent trash in these cracker box developments start to rape and pillage the ‘hood because there is no work after the middle and upper classes sell out and get the hell out of here. |

![]() Hmmm, 10 million dollar bill divided by 111 residents? Hmm? Does this mean a 90 thousand dollar special assessment to be levied on all owners? Head for the hills, link inland Florida away from coastal structures where these issues are front center, and tons of units will be deemed unsafe most often. |
[?] Looks like the Keys are really going to turn into a holy retreat for the low renters to enjoy Paradise. So much for property values if the affordable housing scam gets it all. It was nice while it lasted! |

[Night Blooming Cactus Flower] I have been monitoring it hourly. The first picture is in the late afternoon. The others at 10pm. By morning it will be closed and gone forever. |
I bought a little bag of air today. The company that made it was kind enough to put some potato chips in it as well. |

[Masks] “Don’t demand that I wear one just to make you feel good” That is exactly why I do demand you wear one: to “just make me feel good” and not get sick from your stinky virus. |
![]() 300,000,000 guns in the USA. There’s no telling how many more aren’t registered. |
[Hurricane Mud] Why wasn’t there any mud from Hurricanes Wilma or Georges? We were flooded by both with salt water, but there was no mud. The water just went down. When Irma hit we had very fine silt everywhere and it wasn’t until a couple of weeks when we were able to get a pressure washer to remove the last of this disgusting and stinky silt. |

y7u7I’ve been barking for twenty minutes and you keep telling me to shut up. Anyway, your car is gone. |

[Name That Moth] I call these giant moths “bat moths” because I don’t know their real name. I saw them mating for the first time on one of the structural columns of our house. |
[Afghan Immigrants] The biggest change in the 20 years since 9/11 is we no longer need to import our terrorists. |
![]() [Vaccine] Meanwhile in the Florida panhandle… |
