To ride a bicycle through Old Town is a fine and splendid thing but to ride a scooter may be even better, especially I hasten to add, a properly muffled four stroke like my wife's Vespa. As seen on the back of a shiny car.
A two wheeler is easy to park and I chose a spot near the library whence to stroll. I wondered at this elaborate number holder, hints of a past life perhaps.
For all that I like to live outside the city itself there is sheer de;light in strolling the streets and lanes as a visitor. I cannot recall who it was that mentioned to me a meeting with visitors who had been coming to Key West for a dozen years and they had seen none of the city than Duval Street.What a waste.

I was delighted to spot this vehicle in a handicap spot with the proper documentation of course but what a dork! Not even close!
It is said the words Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior spell out, when taking the first letter of each word, the word fish in Greek which is why modern American Christians adopt the fish outline for their symbol (!). So naturally one has to wonder what this ancient notation from the oppressed in Rome was doing as a public mosaic in Key West.
Most likely nothing but it attracted my camera in pursuit of the whimsical nature of life. So much effort to create meaning and order when none seems to exist. Someone lays out some pretty pieces of tile and I start thinking of catacombs. I think too much.
