This Week on the Island 10/01/2023

‘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; we are in a tropical zone. Rain in the summer and no rain in the winter. BUT wait, look at Sunday night. The temperature is finally going to drop below 80 degrees.

"1934, not 1998, the hottest year on record, NASA confirms," from Greenwire

Illya Kuryakin, from The Man from UNCLE, dead at 90. Most will remember him as Ducky, from NCIS. David McCallum.
