Beer and Strawberries







It was so nice out today, I took a dusk bike ride out to Albertson's to get some strawberries and beer. And what appears above was the new town neighborhood scene. Beautiful. Later it was infested with termites flying everywhere - a side effect of the sunset bike ride but totally worth it.

"Do you have some ID?" the cashier asked eyeing me up and down.

"Uh, no um, I'm 37." I stammered trying to remember my age.

This is Key West and it's a fact of life you need to carry ID if you even remotely look under 21. I have to card people too at work so I wait patiently wait prepared to leave with just strawberries. The bag boy runs off and I turned around to find out where he was going on. Three lanes down, him and manager try to gauge my age. He looked at me, mouthed something to the bag boy and then the bag boy gave a thumbs up with a smile and ran back.

The cashier continued still not believing me "What year were you born?"

"1973." I said, quickly realizing I gave her the wrong age when she first asked me how old I am. Total Score.

Yesterday and Today


This lady has the coolest house near the cemetery and every once in a while you see her nightgown dancing.


I wanted to take that chair but it went really well with Floyd's Barber Shop.



Typical ending to a Key West day.

Back to Basics






Finally feeling good and got a couple bike rides in today. Woo hoo! Not too good at being confined for a length of time but it was needed.

Next stop, the water.

Off to Colorado







Got my last licks of Key West in before I head out to Colorado today. Everyone needs a vacation, even us Key Westers.

It's time to connect with old friends and explore new territories!!

Bike Rides...





Bike rides are the way to go down here. My bike was the first thing I bought with the last bit of money I had.

Yesterday, on a trip out to Ross to look for some new work pants, I saw a whole lotta cool stuff. There are very few stores down here. It's Ross and oh uh, Ross. There's a K-Mart but as Rainman said "K-mart sucks."

So didn't find the pants but I did find a bitchin' wood panel station wagon. 

And a happy little For Sale sign where the flowers probably are working against the sale.
