Weather: Cold last weekend, then it warmed up for Tuesday and Wednesday, cooler for Thursday and Friday and the beautiful for Saturday and Sunday.
This week I finished ‘Mile Marker Zero’ by William McKeen. A great history of Key West writers, poets, and artist. Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Hunter S. Thompson, Tom McGuane, Tom Corcoran, Cpt Tony, Jim Harrison, Phil Clark (a Pirate looks at 40), Guy de la Valdene, Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffett, Jim Harrison, Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Margot Kidder, Bum Farto, and a few names I didn’t mention.
Boca and I spent some time Friday at Schooner with a couple from Buffalo, NY. They were enjoying the Key West sun while Buffalo was getting more snow.
Spring Break is every week from the first of March until Easter. Easter this year is the end of March so we will only have 4 weeks of spring break. The Spring-Breakers are everywhere.
On Higgs Beach near White Street Pier.
On Smathers Beach out near the airport.
On South Beach on the Atlantic end of Duval Street
Dog Beach is next to Louie’s Back Porch.
On Duval Street
North Carolina girls on Caroline St (Good boy Boca)
I think I will have a Bud
Key West, You have got to love it
'Close to Perfect, Far from Normal’
