It's also my long way to and from work if I have time in hand and when I ride up South Roosevelt at six in the morning I see flashlights bobbing around as other people in this town also have difficulty keeping away. It's not a great beach by Florida standards but it has coconut palms, a few Tiki huts and some water sports and you can laze away an afternoon here if you feel like it. Year round and that's pretty cool.
Higgs beach has similar facilities and people will go and hang out there all day too. Higgs is a county beach and an off-duty Sheriff's deputy patrols the beach most days as it tends to accumulate bums at a rapid rate. However i see lots more families hanging out here than previously so something's working right for local people.
The Monroe County School District appears to have won decisively the struggle over the very tall building that has gone up at the site of the new Horace O'Bryant School. The newspaper says the latest statistics brought to negotiations by Superintendent Burke prove conclusively that the district acted within the law by not bothering to tell the city a very tall building was going in on the property, angry neighbors be damned. Meanwhile the paper also reports that the idea of rebuilding city hall at Glynn Archer seems to be coming back into favor. And whats more the city commission seems intent, at last, on getting a favorable deal from the school district, a plan Chair John Dick rejects out of hand. For the rest of us living and working in the city and the county life goes much as usual. I liked this picture of the younger couple struggling with their electronic paraphernalia while the old dude just sits in the shade chillin'..
For some people limin' as they say in the Virgin Islands is a fine art, like sleeping sitting up in public.
I think the life of a homeless dude is just too boring. Imagine, I would have great difficulty doing something as simple as writing a blog even.
