Weather: A cold front came thru on Thursday and it was followed by another cold front on Saturday. We had a cold weekend. Lots of wind and some rain.

The book this week was ‘Mile Marker Zero’ by William McKeen. A great history of Key West writers, poets, and artist.

Mike and Cindi were in town from Pennsylvania. Had a great time and a few adult beverages with them.

Met a couple from Chicago on Wednesday at Schooner. Enjoyed them sharing their table with me and Boca.

Found a bank bag full of money on Thursday. Turned it in and later found it belonged to a friend of mine.

The VA tested my hearing last month and gave me hearing aids this Tuesday. Wow! Never realized what I couldn’t hear.

The Jolly Rover sailing between Mallory Square and Sunset Key.

Open Air Festival on Lazy Way Lane Saturday.

There was supposed to be a farmers market on Truman Waterfront on Saturday. Maybe there will be more people next time.

Long live the Conch Republic. There was a flag rising at Fort Zackary Taylor.
