I am not the only one wandering Key West aimlessly early in the morning.
Lots of visitors have discovered the delights of the Old Town devoid of people and noise early in the day. One can stop and pause and not get rushed along by the crowds and the action. This time of year the heat is less, though perhaps not by much and the crowds have yet to form. This appeal is directed to the large numbers of people streaming into Mallory Square for the usual sunset stuff:
The days of doing good for the pleasure of doing good are long gone if they ever really existed. Tourist economies exits with their hands out. After we watched Puerto Ricans abandon dogs across their horribly overpopulated islands we gave to the Save a Sato program designed by well meaning mainlanders to bring relief to the strays of America's true "Caribbean Island."
In Las Vegas I have seen artificial limbs pawned to feed the gambling habit. I expect alcohol is responsible for this impromptu public sculpture. Do you suppose he crawled away?
They were making a tape. Look for it no doubt on YouTube.
Key West Harbor, not exactly by the dawn's early light but close enough. As in motorcycling where Harley riders don't acknowledge dweebs on sport bikes and BMW riders...blah...blah...blah, on the water stink potters despise rag boats and sailors turn their noses up at stink potters.
From the beach it all looks rather pleasant, open flat water and the promise of adventure over the horizon.

Hi Conch, Thanks so much for all the perspectives on living in the keys. I only recently found your site but have been a keys visitor for many many years. Happy to say that as I approach my 50th birthday next year that I am signing papers today to put my home up for sale and will be joining you. For me the keys have always been the home I have never lived in. I go with a open mind and a hope to discover what living life is really all about.
Congratulations and good luck. "...all about." Let's see: learning the names of all the bar tenders on Duval, getting Marchman'ed at least once and doing the locals' parade in a thong at Fantasy Fest. That should cover most of it.
Thanks for those added activities Conch. I have them committed to memory and will write them down as well .
Mark
