Duval Walk

I had never previously met the bucket drummer but I have heard of him. My wife thought he sounded very musical, though sometimes people call the police late at night to have him moved along. He has a city permit as odd as that may sound so you are likely to hear him when walking Duval Street. I wonder if anyone ever posts a slogan on their windows suggesting beer is something other than good? Was it not Ben Franklin who said beer was God's way of telling us he loved us? On Duval Street, most especially at night that sentiment is frequently taken to extremes and shouting and hitting are messages of a different kind in relation to beer. I saw this dude, shown below busy eating with his sunglasses on tipped all the way back over his head. It looked foolish to me, as God gave us pockets to take care of such unconsidered trifles, about the same time he was issuing us with our beer allowance. It occurred to me, slow as I am on the uptake, that this might be a fashion statement, in which case it is even more stupid than it first appeared. "Hey! Look at these lovely munchkins that just walked in!" called the singer at Ricks. The photo is not good but I could hear riepe and bobbie in staid Canada whinging over my shoulder so i did my best on the fly. Had my wife not been there I'd have stepped up and asked them for a threesome in their hotel room.

And if you believe that you'd probably also believe that Kermit;'s has opened a second location for Key Lime Pie. I guess he moves at a slower pace than the defunct Blond Giraffe which popped up all over town and went bust with the economy.

Key Lime Pie be damned; we had a date at the theater.

It was a lovely evening in Key West and we enjoyed playing tourist for a little while. Everyone should, from time to time.
