Cool quote by actor Mark Hamill re Supreme Court and Donald Trump: “After vastly expanding Presidential power, Supreme Court now considers moving Independence Day to January 6th.”
Louis says, “We are fighting to save the life and history of our country! Let’s not fail!”
Key West occurrences.
Fireworks last night. I forgot it was the 4th. I was researching for a book I am writing. Forgot even to turn on TV to Washington D.C. to listen to the patriotic singing.
Suddenly began hearing “rumbling.” Sounded like consistent banging. Thought it was my next door neighbor. He got lucky and his bedpost was banging against the wall.
Took 15 minutes before it occurred to me that it was neither luck nor the bedpost. It was Key West fireworks!
Key West’s World Famous Lime Pie Eating Contest was won yesterday by a 19 year old Honduran student. Hester Rodriguez. He devoured a whipped cream topped 9 inch Key Lime pie in 1 minute 50.52 seconds. Beat 24 others in so doing.
Face only. No fork, spoon or hands. A messy success!
By 1934, Key West was Depression ravished. Bankrupt. As was Monroe County.
Control of Key West and Monroe County was transferred to the Federal Emergency Relief Agency’s Southeast Regional Administration. Julius Stone was in charge.
Stone was successful in the next few years in restoring Key West and Monroe County to prosperity.
An apt reference in this morning’s Citizens’ Voice: “Three lame ducks…..spend a lifetime gaining a ‘reputation’ and five minutes losing it.”
The matter is not over. I believe the 3 Commissioners plus one more violated the Sunshine Law. Floridians in the past have shown extreme seriousness when the Law was violated.
Tomorrow a big day! I will be 89 years old! Wow!
Enjoy your day!
