The Top To The Bottom

I snapped a few evening pictures from street level of one alternative to watching the sunset at Mallory Square.Me? I'd rather be up at the top of La Concha with a glass of wine in hand than milling around the chaos of Mallory Square.La Concha hotel is the tallest structure in Key West and offers splendid views around the city.I was last up there with a camera almost two years ago and my feelings haven't changed. http://conchscooter.blogspot.com/2009/05/top.html Some people prefer to turn their backs on the scene and talk on the phone. It's a long way up to the top from the ground.

  1. Dear CS:

    I waited up just to watch the message on your blog change. There used to be a time when Friday night meant drinking, carousing, and getting laid. Now I wait for the pictures to change on Key West Diary. Should I start the car in the closed garage?

    I'm riding early tomorrow to test my heated gear. The temperature should be in the low 30's.

    Fondest regards,

  2. Dear Jack: I'm sorry you feel suicidal. I feel rather to blame as sitting up all night and not seeing any breasts must make you feel worse. Rest assured there is no nudity scheduled tomorrow either- just a riveting discussion of sub tropical gardening (and iguana murder).
    PS. The good news is bobskoot will also being feel pretty suicidal owing to the snow currently blanketing the "Key West of Canada." He's had some pretty tart comments lately and as you can see, even though temperatures are scheduled to drop to near 55 this week, we have no snow at all.

  4. Dear CS,
    Remember to hold that glass of white wine near the ledge so the ghost might take care of it.

    Also, do you have problems with armadillos? My father and I have found them troublesome lately in our gardens and lawns. Mostly in my lawn, which leads me to think I might have a grub problem. I would think they are not as prolific there due to the need to navigate the bridges.

    Dear Riepe,
    The alternative could be working on Friday and in lieu of smoke breaks, be taking digital breast breaks (I love technology sometimes - when it works). Email me direct for some nefarious links. :)

  5. Goofy tourists at the top of La Concha: CHECK.

    View of the Tropic with bicycles belonging to low carbon footprint patrons: CHECK.

    T&A:........?

    I too wait with far too much anticipation for the next blog. I think I'll sit in the car with Reipe.

  8. Dear Sir:

    How they hell do dopes kill themselves by jumping off La Concha? It looks like a good 13 feet to the next roof.

    And by the way, me walking around behind you chanting, "you can fly," is like you gimping around behind me muttering, "you can ride."

    Fondest regards,

  9. Dear Jack
    you and blame it on the buffet need to go to the top and try jumping. I'm told the view is tremendous on the way down. All your life flashing by and stuff. By the way I never encouraged you to ride. I never encourage people to strive beyond their capacity. I'm a socialist, remember?
