It's the Memorial Weekend in Key West like it is everywhere in the US but in Key West men wear bras to mark the holiday.
The good news is women wear their underwear in public too, so I felt obliged to take some pictures for posterity.
My proclivities as a dirty old man come in for much scorn from readers who think staring at young women who wouldn't look twice at them in real life is a macho thing to do, so I offer this taste of what's to come with all due humility for the undoubted shortcomings. 
These absurd pork pie hats are appearing everywhere on top of young touristas, so I am forced to think they look more suitable on Madison Avenue and in Beverly Hills than they do at Schooner Wharf Bar.
Speaking of Beverly Hills I rather enjoyed the babes of Big Pine Bay Watch. 
The silliness of getting grown men and women to take to the water in home built craft composed of inadequate materials like duct tape and plywood is to raise money for Veterans on this Memorial Day.
I bought my poppy, symbolic of the blood red poppies of Flanders Fields that saw so much loss of human life in 1914-1918.
The actual boats themselves were of less interest to me and in any event despite the rumored presence of CNN the race took an age to start. I'm working tonight so I couldn't even drink beer to assuage the boredom. I went home and took a nap instead.

I was rooting around my computer the other day and dug up a photo grouping from last year's Minimal Regatta - If you want, I can send the pix to you.
The race always takes for-freaking-ever to start; remember - it's on island time!
I saw one boat come round the buoys and one boat sank before it got clear of the docks. Then I we all went home.
Don't bother sending the picture. I can't figure how to download them from e-mail. I thought I had it on the iPad but...pftzzzt! Nothing doing. Yet.
I have a superb (I think) app for the iPad for blogging called blog press ( I think). I am going to experiment more with it this week but I think it is my third and best app so far.
Dear Conchscooter:
You will never be criticized (by the Twisted Roads Community) for taking pictures of women in skimpy bikinis, their underwear, or just plain topless. In fact, most of your readers would be delighted (I suspect) if you added some nice ass shots too.
Have you noticed that the great banter that used to be rampant on this site has sort of gone away? That is because the subjerct matter changes so quickly. In other words, no one will complain one way or the other regardless of the pictures you post.
Why not try a cool experiment? Take 200 pictures of steamy lady shots, and blend them on with your other stuff. Then, go back to your usual practice of displaying blobby tourists from New Jersey, spilling out of purple tank tops or turquoise Bermuda shorts that are larger than Bermuda. I bet you'd get some crossfire then.
Always thinking of you...

The pics are super stupid easy to download from email - just put your finger on the pic and hold it.
The Pheebs figured that out on her own - and she's quite electronically impaired.
Dear Chuck I figured that part out thank you.The paert I couldn't figure out is why the pictures show up in blogger as an empty square. Grrr.
Dear Jack, The great banter is one compnent of the blog but what I have now is tons of different voices chipping in on things. each essay is complete and there is no need to read every single word or picture. Drop in, read what you like and drop out. The numbers have doubled over the past few weeks. There were 19,500 readers in April so far in May I have hit more than 26,000 and the format changed mid stream. That and different voices commenting makes me hope I have done the right thing.
Perhaps you used the middle finger...
Dirty old man = healthy old man:
When a man reaches a certain age, if he remains healthy and vigorous, then he is going to be a dirty old man in the eyes of the young who have not yet grown old enough to understand.
If he has lost his health and vigor, then he might not be a dirty old man.
And any healthy old man who professes no interest in babes, is not only a dirty old man, but a lying old man.
I figure it is better to be a dirty old man then an unhealthy old man.
The thing that a dirty old man should strive to do is still be a respectful old man.
God Bill. Thats a lot to digest. Is it respectful to put their puctures on my blog?
Oh, sure. What's not respectful is to stand, stare, oogle, drool and make crude and crass utterances. But however anyone shows up dressed in public is the way they expect to be seen, so of course.
