Key West Lou / I HAVE FOUND ME A HOME
Jimmy Buffett wrote about the Key West he discovered in the 1970’s. The people, streets, Mulberry Square.
He wrote and sang “I Have Found Me A Home.” Key words: “The days drift by, they don’t have names; / And none of the streets here look the same / And there are so many quiet places / And smilin’ eyes match their smilin’ faces…../ You can have everything else I own ’cause I have found me a home.”
Key West is into night turtle nesting time. Be careful when walking on the beaches. Also try to keep condo, etc. lights out near the beaches so turtles can lay their eggs safely and hatchings can find their way safely to the water. Turtles look to the moon to direct them to the ocean. Man made light from the condos and street lights screw them up. They believe the man made lights are the moon over the water and end up under car wheels and people’s feet.
Never made it to The Grand last night. A water pipe broke near the house and we were without water for several hours. Meant no shower or shaving for me if I were to go out without. Smelled “too good” for that so remained home. The water got hooked back up to close to the 4 pm time I was to be at The Grand. Required my canceling with my Greek friends Theos and Dina. We are having lunch instead tomorrow. Maine lobster pizza at Theos’ specific request!
Tonight, I will be at Brady’s Irish Pub. Lasagna the specialty. Excellent! Amazing how an Irish restaurant can prepare an excellent Italian dish! The cook probably a Cuban. That’s the way it is in Key West.
Key West City Attorney Ronald Ramsingh, Code Compliance Director James Young, and Building Department Director Rajindhar Ramsingh were indicted yesterday charged with attempting “to obstruct an ongoing law enforcement investigation.” The investigation of the three was conducted by the State Attorney and FBI.
Further details sparse at the moment.
The Garcia matter ongoing. Trump not bending. A Constitutional confrontation with the Courts in the making. Trump could not be more wrong. A Court resolution may not be possible. American people upset. Also upset with the many problems arising out of the tariffs. A coup in the making?
The situation stinks!
Joe Biden finally speaking up. Time for him to be heard. He spoke yesterday in defense of Social Security and to make people aware of what could occur with the program if Trump has his way.
Welcome back President Biden!
You have to admire Harvard University. Trump has attacked Harvard. They have refused to bend the knee even though Trump is taking away Harvard’s tax exempt status and is freezing $2.2 billion in federal funding.
Donald, get your ass out of college and university education. There are some things you cannot control. Higher education one. Harvard is not “stupid” as you have charged. You are if you think a President should control what colleges and universities teach.
Pennsylvania’s Gov. Shapiro’s home was fire bombed. The Governor, his family and guests were asleep at the time. The Jewish holiday was being celebrated.
The culprit has been caught and charged with arson and attempted murder. The house damaged big time. Fortunate the State Police got everyone out safely.
This crap has to stop! These things are not supposed to happen in the U.S.
On this day in 2007, 32 persons were gunned down at Virginia Tech. The sadness the event itself. Even worse, that gun control not that much better since 2007.
Today is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s birthday. He is 78.
“Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” Henry Stanley’s famous words when he finally located the missionary, doctor and explorer in Africa in 1871.
Dr. Livingstone died 3 years later. His body arrived home this day in 1874 in Southampton for burial.
Turkey is the home to the largest underground city. Now called Derinkuyu. Eighteen levels deep. Constructed in 1200 BCE. At one time housed 20,000 people.
I close with our “good friend” Russia.
Russia was difficult to trust even in the early days of World War II.
On this day in 1939, Stalin proposed an alliance with Britain and France to counter Nazi Germany. The Soviets later signed a secret agreement with the Nazis.
Roosevelt and Churchill had their hands full in dealing with Stalin during World war II.
Enjoy your day!
