This Week on the Island 09/10/2023

 

‘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: It is Key West, so it is still hot and humid.

And of course, it is September and the height of hurricane season.

We started this week with the sad news that Jimmy Buffett had died.

He was known to have said that heaven must have a beach.

Here in Key West, we had a parade for Jimmy on Labor Day.

Lots of people were there.

Tuesday, Teeki and I were coming back for our lunch time walk at the Truman Waterfront.

This area was used for Submarine Training during WWII.

A car cut us off at the corner of Duval and Caroline.

I hit the brakes and they disintegrated. We walked home pulling the trike and spent some time replacing the brake disk. Teeki, the trike, and I are OK.

We leave you with ‘Easy like Sunday morning’.
