Key West Lou / THE GLORY WILL FADE

The glory will fade.

The Monroe County Tourist Development Council, aka the TDC, has recently won several marketing awards.

I am not thrilled. Nor impressed. The TDC has done an excellent job for the organization, but the results have not been the best for Key West. They have changed the island. Additionally brought some corruption with it.

What now?

The “glory” will not last. It will fade. Fade because of what it is turning Key West into and because of what the results of the present criminal investigation may reveal.

The New York Times Editorial Board this morning: Donald Trump Unfit To Lead. “He is dangerous in word, deed and action. He puts self over country. He loathes the laws we live by.”

Need more be said.

Trump is scumbag #1. And yet the race is close. Woe be we should he win!

Mary Trump is Donald Trump’s niece. We are aware from her prior comments she is not a happy camper when it comes to Uncle Donald.

Mary is a psychologist by profession. She says, “Donald is dementing…..We deserve to be told there is a maniac on the loose.”

The things I recall. This day in 1956. Elvis Presley appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Sixty million viewers watched. The figure translates into 82.6 percent of TV viewers.

I watched. Presley was a big deal already!

He sang Don’t Be Cruel, Hound Dog and Love Me Tender.

A WOW performance!

On this day in 1919, the Boston police went on strike. A no no.

Calvin Coolidge was Governor of Massachusetts. His handling of the police strike eventually led to his election as President of the United States. His handling of the strike made him appear a man of decisive action.

His words during the police strike could not have been  more appropriate: “There is no right to strike against the public safety by anyone, anywhere, any time.”

I close with a few words by Queen Elizabeth II. A wise sensitive woman. She said, “Grief is the price we pay for love.”

A more fitting statement never said.

Enjoy your day!
