This Week on the Island 03/11/2018

 ‘This Week on the Island’ is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.

The Weather: I had to go to the V.A. in Miami this week. This is a picture of the sun rise out the window of the V.A. Bus.

This week I continued reading’ Kilimanjaro Snow’ by Lewis Haskell.

The Veteran’s Hospital in Miami. Hopefully they will be replacing my right ankle before the end of April.

A little ‘Pocket Park’ was dedicated this week to the memory of the cigar rollers here in Key West.

Teeki’s dog park friend Shelby was Citizen of the Day. I know it says Josh, but we all know it was Shelby that was Citizen of the Day.

Yes, the college kids are still here.

Someone took a picture of me and Teeki at the corner of Caroline and Duval. The Bull would be on the left corner just out of picture range.

Saturday, we took a road trip to Marathon (MM50, mile marker 50) to get Teeki’s annual physical. She has been with us 1 year and 4 months. Address along US#1 are given in Mile Markers. We live in Key West (MM0) so the trip to Marathon (MM50) would be 50 miles.

And of course we stopped at Porky's to get a N.C. Bar-B-Que sandwich and a couple of adult beverages.
