This Week on the Island 05/10/2020
‘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: Same as last week and the week
before. And the week before. And the
week before. BUT: It looks like next week we may finally get some rain.
A map
was posted on the construction fence at the Truman Waterfront Park. The bottom
left corner shows a new dog park. Teeki is all excited.
Schooner
Wharf Bar opened so Teeki and I went for an adult beverage.
And of
course, we had Cinco de mayo on Taco Tuesday.
One of
our rides this week took us to Simonton Beach on the Gulf side of the island. Check out how clear that water is. The water temp is 81 degrees.
The city
of Key West has been replacing sidewalks.
We have
lots of joggers on our streets.
I saw in
the paper where a small dog had been attacked by a hawk. Here is south Florida we
have a different situation.
This is
the Southern Cross, it is on our flag (Conch Republic Flag). It is a southern constellation
and cannot be seen from most of the northern hemisphere. We can see it from Key
West; therefore, it is on our flag.
Beware
of the Murder Hornets.
Key West,
Close to
Perfect, Far from Normal’
