To those of us who missed The Cat Man Show on Friday night because some other act took over near his spot and distracted the Cats and his Show, please let the Westin Key West know about it.  Otherwise we may not get our dose of this world-famous purrrrrformer much longer! http://www.catmankeywest.com/

Another lady had seen him on TV in Australia and came down to see him on their first night and some bozo had to ruin it for all of us!  We almost started to heckle the other dude, but instead, went through a claustrophobic Mallory Square and missed The Cat Man Show.  Let them know how special our Cat Man Is.
I have a three bedroom house on two acre in Big Pine Key that I would like to rent to a Navy family. How do I go about letting the Navy know? Do they have a blog or a newspaper I could advertise in?




[Cops and YouTube video] It just goes to show the mentality of the country today.  The kids got everything they deserved by being little shits and disregarding the rules and fighting the cops instead of complying with their lawful orders. The way I saw the video, the kids need more than to be grabbed by the throat. 

What is wrong with the north canal in Port Pine Heights? All the fish are dead and it stinks!

[Fallen troops]  It is good to know there are some wonderful people out there who care. Thank you for the post.

[Clinton/Bush bashers/boosters] I’m a slow learner, but I’ve learned that the Friends of Bill and the Bushies are each hard core and not likely to change the others’ mind.  Reason and analysis are not part of the matrix.  I do pray that each of these camps can agree that an 800 pound gorilla is gaining weight and ferocity while it hungers to devour us.

You’ve got to give the Muslim-fundamentalist-terrorist-gorilla plenty of respect.  They sure as hell aren’t sneaky; they’ve told us over and over that they intend to destroy us. Their existence and mission has been known for years, every President and many European leaders, since Nixon have experienced their wrath and fire.  They have fed and thrived on our lack of resolve to vanquish them.  They have benefited immensely by our national largess.  They rejoice in and taunt our timidity.  They are bright and analytical; they recognize our weaknesses and exploit them.  Their solidity and unity of purpose is superior to ours. Their will to prevail is superior to ours. 

Clinton and Bush have shot their national wads, each will best be judged years from now.  I hope that our way of life can continue to exist so that each of us will be able to read their true history, not the rant of a Muslim fundamentalist’s official Sharia Government historian.

[He’s back!] Dear gossip artists, It says you will print anything but attacks on individuals. So why have you printed over and over attacks on my son, Tussa?  Who are you anyway?  Write me back and explain. 





"He told me...that, as a martyr, he would have been granted 72 virgins. This didn't seem quite the moment to point out that there is a lively, ongoing debate among scholars of Islam as to whether the 72 promised virgins might, in fact, only be 72 raisins." --The New Republic's Peter Bergen, on an interview with a would-be suicide bomber

[bomb threat] If, in fact, a bomb threat was made. The Federal Key Deer Refuge will have the F.B.I. looking into It. If a cell phone was used it will be easy to look up who used what at what time. I can only say that not only was it a very dumb thing to do, but there is a very good chance that the Federal Gov. will spend whatever it takes to catch the folks or person involved. There will be jail time and a very big fine. My money is on the Feds.

To the lady defending Mr. Milo, he was 19 when he committed the heinous crimes, not 17.  He has pleaded guilty to a third degree felony, so he is a felon now, no matter what kind of punishment the judge gives him.  If his entire future is destroyed, it is his own doings and no one else's.

My young ones have done dumb things; this is beyond dumb.  Not all young people learn from their mistakes; that is why the prisons are full of people that never did learn.  One of my sons was on the wrong path and kept getting into more and more trouble.  He finally spent one year in jail and it totally turned him around.  There is no telling what he might have become if he hadn't gone to jail.

[Size limit for boats in canals] You are allowed 25% the width of the canal

A camping park on Xmas Tree Island?  Are you kidding?

I am a little confused. I read on a constant basics, of animals being killed here in the Keys; from iguanas being put onto freezers to kill them (Their crime, eating plants, their natural food) Feral Cats being killed because some people don’t like them, to Marsh Rabbits being killed for why?

Remember the game where we sit around in a circle and one person starts a story going around and by the time it comes back to them it is a whole new story?  Everyone remember that? Well, that is just what happens when someone starts something on this internet, it just keeps growing and growing, even when it means young peoples lives are at stake.

What those boys did to the alligator maybe wasn’t right, but  when did we start putting human life above the life of wild animals? There are people out there who have lived all these years as perfect human beings, so, okay, they have the right to throw stones I guess.  (Just so we never find out their past mistakes and blow them up.)  I just do mot understand why some people want to wreck the rest of two boys lives for a mistake they made when they were 17 years old.  All I can think of is  that you have no life of your own or you are perfect people, in which case I want to see you walk on water.

Be punished? Yes, they should be.  Be marked as felons and have no future? Big mistake for society.

[Sea lice] What is the chemical that sea lice secrete that must be neutralized? Do acids like vinegar neutralize it?






The Moondogs are going to be playing at Boondocks this Saturday for the full moon party. C'mon out, dance until you drop and and howl along with the 'Dogs.

I’d like to write in to support our local service workers because I know many of them and I know their good nature.  And I know that we agreed not to humor the cop hater.  But I know who he is and thought I would shed some light on him.  I will not specifically mention his name.

This man attempted to start a dive business in Key West but failed miserably.  Ocean Key House impounded his boat because he owed them a lot of money.  His house on Privateer in Cudjoe was just foreclosed on by the bank.  Now he sits in Columbus, OH writing endless diatribes about cops, big businesses, and other government entities because he blames them for his failed life.  To make things worse, he has a boat half-sunk at the Cudjoe house, polluting the whole canal.  He has no respect for laws, environment, or any of his neighbors.  By the way, the canal-front stilt house is advertised for $299,000!

Now, he has nothing better to do than go on an anonymous website 1300 miles from his home and make cowardly postings.  He's the same guy who thought Sheriff Roth was to blame for Tom Willi's screw-ups.  Truth is, and I'm sure everyone could see this in his numerous posts, he has some screws loose.  He does not live here anymore, so I suggest he annoy his new neighbors in Ohio, not us. 

[dog poop Ramrod] You must be kidding!  I lived on Ramrod too, and saw the local kids trash the place.  There is also one guy, a long time resident of the island, who walks his dog and carries a plastic bag, but when I was there, the dog was allowed to poop in everyone's yard and the bag never got used.  Fortunately for us, unfortunately for others, he moved further down West Indies, away from our area.

[Bickering Neighbors] I suspect there are several sets of bickering neighbors, all adding fuel to the fire; thinking they are the exclusive target.  There's probably also a person being referred to in the feud that knows nothing about the entire exchange and is going happily about his life.



About what time will the Stray Dogs be playing at Picnic Island on the fourth?

The population of the Keys has dropped from 82,413 in 2000 to 73,747 today. We’re just about the only county losing people and I thing they are mostly service people. The Keys are truly becoming a playground for the rich. Island Information



Hybrid car battery’s can be recycled just as we’ve recycled all kinds of batteries for decades.  I don’t know of any way to recycle a Hummer’s exhaust.

[think like a human who has crawled his way to the top of the food chain] Does being at the top of the food chain mean we shit where we eat? kill everything around us? war with every body and destroy our own planet? And you expect respect?


Now that the County Commission has approved the condo-ization of Lucky’s Landing and just about every other trailer park in the Keys they are going to try to stop any new land use conversions. I guess they’ve done all the favors they promised.

Breezeswept Beach has had a series of calls to code enforcement for stupid things over the last two weeks.  I have also noticed that same couple who lives on Indies Road about 1/2 way down driving around in the big white pick up with the diesel engine or in the white Jeep Cherokee driving around a lot over the last two weeks.  The guy is driving and the lady is writing things down on a pad of paper.  What a coincidence? They are back driving around and code enforcement calls go up. 

Let's take all the dogs from Picnic Island in to make a deposit on their lawn.  The canal into Breezeswept is very close to Picnic Island.  I'll volunteer to shuttle them all in for a quick deposit.  I'm going to make my new project to follow them home so I can post their address on here.  I know they live on Indies Road, but I’m not sure exactly where.  Ed, if I post the address will you print it? (Ed: Yes, if we print yours too.)

[Cure for sea lice]  Urine will instantly take the itch and burn away from sea lice bites and man o war stings.  Its the natural way and the quickest way.

[alligator killers] It matters not how “good” everyone says they are. What matters is the character they displayed out of sight of those who think they’re good.  Too many people are easily fooled.  For Ms. Gross, wanton killing is a lot more than "dumb things".



[All other animals are lower than us] So you think you have crawled your way to the top of the food chain? My parrot has said more intelligent things than you just wrote. Using your logic I guess that gators are the most highly evolved species in Florida since they enjoy eating humans.

Friday June 29, 2008

There was a bomb threat to the Key Deer Refuge Office last evening. They had the south end of Winn Dixie parking lot cordoned off while the bomb squad made sure the call was a hoax. I'm wondering if someone hates deer enough to do such a stupid thing or maybe it had to do with the feral cat trapping. Who knows what nuts think.

[Rules are why we will be extinct in a few years] Without rules we sink to your level. America is founded on rules. I call you and your mercenary ilk un-American and do not respect your propensity for violence nor your fascist understandings.



[Time travel] What would happen if I went back in time and killed my mother?
I would like to submit the following comments on behalf of Jordan Milo. I do not know the other fellow, but I can speak for Jordan.

I understand what Jordan did when he was 17 years old should not go unpunished, but I do not believe this young man should be marked for the rest of his life. To have his life destroyed as a young man would render no gain for anyone, not Jordan and certainly not society.

As a single mother of two boys, who at times in their younger years did dumb things, they have turned out to be fine young men. I can not honestly say this would have been true, if certain people along their road to adulthood had not given them a second chance. Young people learn from their mistakes, if they are not destroyed in the process, it is part of the human growing process.

Jordan is a very caring young man, who has finally found his calling in life, and wants nothing more than to serve his country with honor. He has a clean record other than this instance, and has a Great Military Record.

I ask that the court take all of this into consideration and find a suitable punishment, and not mark this young man as a felon, which will destroy his entire future.

Good news. Blossoms Grocery (294-9496) on White St near Eaton St now has Deer Chow in stock.

I understand that the folks at Lucky’s Landing are having a big bash on July 15th (Saturday). This is their final day at this waterfront mobile home park and would like to invite all friends and neighbors to attend and celebrate their many years of happy (affordable) living in the keys. There is plenty of parking now and room to tie your boat (if you choose to come by boat). They ask that you bring your own beverages, (ice and grills will be available). Make sure to bring your swim suits. Several tiki huts and outside showers will be there for your use. Come have a good time and remember the "good times".



Or you will be fined.
Things I like about the Keys
1. Where else can you see a Casino Boat sitting in 4 feet of water that wasn't tugged in there.
2. Around here we call each other Jerk or tell each other "here's your sign" and "you can't fix stupid" but we don't shoot each other.
3. I like the way the county tells us "we may switch to year round water restrictions" but we all know what the next line whispered is, “Pssst, that way we can replace more single family houses with multi unit condos".
4. We don't wear plaid pants here.
5. Bikinis.

87 The Hungarian] It wasn't a headline, it was an inside page story. A picture and a half column, it said, "Hungarian Families Arrive in Washington D.C. Escape Russians with Nothing but the Clothes on  Their Back" The response was overwhelming. Poor Marion could not step away from the phone. Dad and Uncle George had all kinds of job offers. People wanted to bring furniture, household goods, clothing, food, somebody wanted to donate a car. Marion had to tell them, since we just arrived, wait a few days until we are in  a place of our own. A bank account was set up with Suburban Trust, and donations were referred to that account. It was so generous that we were able to repay the Schattensteins for the bus fares and even had some left over...

[UFO] Many will recall that, on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed an unidentified object, with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well-known incident many say has long been covered up by the United States Air Force and the federal government. However, what you may not know, is that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months later, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Condoleezza Rice, and Dan Quayle were all born.

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? This information may clear up a lot of questions, doubts or other perplexities.

I read that athletes foot cream will cure your sea lice, 
but putting it on your thong itch would be rough.
You say not all men kill, eat or wear animals. More correctly you should say, not all males kill, eat or wear animals. Real men do all that!



[illegal immigrants entering our country to declare a firearm.] I wonder just how many "illegal immigrants" are trained troops!?  Remember the movie Red Dawn?

Size limit for boats in canals.  I believe the width must be less than one-third the width of the canal. To allow equal storage on both sides of the canal, and to let other boats pass.  Logic also dictates that the length of the boat must be less than the with of the canal to allow for the boat to be turned around.

I enjoyed the clueless writer talking about sea lice burrowing into your skin.  Sea lice is a misnomer, they are a larval stage of a medusa jelly fish. They don't burrow at all but sting like jelly fish are apt to do.  They are so small that they are helped in the stinging process by being smashed between your suit and skin, the itch is a histamine reaction.

I don't think there are any ordinances for boat sizes in canals. Up until now it's been more or less regulated by the boat's draft.
Some pictures don't need captions.

Again Bush is refusing to turn over records when asked by Congress. Bush and Nixon are the same thing. If anything, the comparison is insulting to Nixon.


Years ago I was on one of the snorkel boats that ran out of Dolphin Marine.  When I came out of the water I saw that I was covered in little red bumps. The captain said that I had sea lice. He dumped red wine vinegar on me and told me to shower. By the time we reached land every red bump was gone.

Toyota Hybrid automobiles cause more pollution than most of their tree hugging drivers know.  John Hammerstrom, one of the chief defenders of the Florida Keys environment not only built his house in an environmentally sensitive hardwood hammock but drives one of the most polluting cars made, a Toyota Prius.  It just so happens that their nickel batteries have far more harmful impacts on the earth's environment than people think.  Researchers have discovered that a Hummerhas less environmental impact on the earth's environment than John Hammerstrom’s Toyota Prius

 The batteries that power the Toyota Prius and other Hybrid vehicles come from the Inco Mines in Canada, one of the most polluted places on earth......The Inco mines are responsible for all the acid rain in the upper part of the United states, and all the land within a 100 mile radius of the plant is completely void of all visible foliage.  Once again Mr. Hammerstrom has shown his hypocritical status that lies beneath his environmental façade. --govwatch05@comcast.net



Your boat can only take up 1/3 of the canal. An inch more and, “You got some ‘splainin to do, Lucy!”

This is a great video on why people distrust cops. You need to watch the whole thing for the good part. Here are two more worthless cops. One cop strangles a 13 year old girl while the other ideally stands by watching. Only the one that strangled the kids got suspended pending an investigation. The other which is an accomplish should also be suspended. I wonder if the one got suspended with pay or not? I'm curious what kind of investigation they are doing? The video speaks for its self. Excessive force and aggravated assault sounds good. I would probably have been put in jail and have to post bail for strangling a little girl like that. Dirty pigs. Yeah yeah cops making your selves look real good. I would go out on a limb and suggest as a percentage of the population cops commit more crimes then the general population. They just don't get caught. And just like in the video their fellow officers just  stand by and let them do it. Sick. Actions speak louder then words.

After the first time I got sea lice (at the reef not at Picnic Island), a friend said Windex had enough ammonia in it to kill sea lice. I took it a step further and mixed half water and half ammonia in a spray bottle. I use it before and after I get in the water during the summer months. I haven't had sea lice since (4 years).

I just wanted to give Kudos to Kim Kasey and her sidekick Cowboy Leroy on the afternoon trivia contest on US 1 radio lately.  Finally there is some form of entertainment on the afternoon radio.  They have taken the show up a notch, and let me say I giggled for 10 minutes straight with some of the answers that were given.  The questions have been funny as hell.   Keep up the good work you two, and thanks for entertaining an old woman like myself.  P.S. Don’t fire the poor boy, he's kind of funny, and probably hot too, in his boots, but I'm old and my standards are not what they used to be.

A gushy reporter told Phil Michelson, "You are spectacular, your name is synonymous with the game of golf. You really know your way around the course. What's your secret?"  Michelson replied, "The holes are numbered"  

A golfer teed up his ball on the first tee, took a mighty swing and hit his ball into a clump of trees.  He found his ball and saw an opening between two trees he thought he could hit through. Taking out his 3-wood, he took another mighty swing; the ball hit a tree, bounced back, hit him in the forehead and killed him. As he approached the gates of Heaven, St. Peter saw him coming and asked, "Are you a good golfer"?  To which the man replied: "Got here in two, didn't I?"
The bride came down the aisle and when she reached the altar, the groom was standing there with his golf bag and clubs at his side. She said: "What are your golf clubs doing here"? He looked her right in the eye and said, "This isn't going to take all day, is it?"
VP Chaney seems to think that secrecy from the people is the best Democracy.

[Bickering Neighbors] I'm getting confused. Is there a 3rd neighbor involved?  Since you all decided to air your problem here please set us straight with what's what.

You want us to think like the animal so we can empathize with them.  If we did that we would starve or revert back down the food chain to lower forms of life like the herbivores.  I will pass, I prefer to think like a human who has crawled his way to the top of the food chain.  Our place in the food chain is to be an omnivore which means that we eat both plants and animals, yes even cute and cuddly ones.  Whether we kill it ourselves or let others kill it for us, lower animals are there to be eaten.  And all other animals are lower than us.  

My dog poops at home right after he eats because that is what I trained him to do.  My dog get's a healthy diet and I always feed him at the same time everyday. I won't bring my dog out to Picnic Island because I don't want him getting sea lice or any other diseases from the filthy people out there throwing their garbage in the same water we are swimming in.  Cigarette butts floating by are also sickening when you are in the water.  Its people that are to blame, for the pig pen out there at Picnic Island, not dogs!

Thursday June 28, 2007

Kudos to the KW City Commission for putting the annexation of Christmas Tree Island on the ballot. Finally a governing body that listened to the people. I think what the commission should really be asking is not how much money the annexation will bring to the city’s coffers, but is it the right thing to do. I’d like to see a park there with a small campground, and a mooring field to the west, and docks on the east side. The city should buy Wisteria Island.

No matter how many times Bush downgrades our mission; victory in Iraq is when they stop shooting at us! Anything else is defeat.

In remembrance for our dearly departed friend, we say cheers to you George, we will miss you and we know the Big Pine Coffee Country Club won’t be the same without your wit, and humor. We all cherish the time we had together, and know you’re in a better place now and it will be hard to fill your position as you know it is a difficult job to do. No person knows the hardships you endured to fulfill your obligations as vice-president, especially under the direct command of the "acting" president now in reign. Woe to us who now deal with the new regime, where we will probably succumb to inflated dues, and the days of tabs being paid are probably ones of the past. Oh George, if you were only to fly over and deposit your thoughts upon those empowered shoulders, please, in your unmatched capabilities; give us a sign that everything in the club will be okay. Honestly George, may God have his blessing upon your soul and welcome you with open arms, and sit you beside him (so you have a good view from where you can place your droppings upon us!) and be taken care of for the rest of your life. Farewell from all at the club. 

[Thinning the herd] An 18-year-old man intent for some reason on spray-painting graffiti in an electrical substation in Santa Fe, N.M., jumped the concrete wall and razor wire in May and started to work, but soon burned himself badly and died days later.

[dog poop] I have lived on Ramrod Key for 11 years and have been coming here since 1979.  I have never met anyone that I didn't consider a friend as well as their dogs.  The locals know how to take care of their Island.  It’s the visitors that bring their crap and trash to our Paradise.  Please educate the non-residents when you see them violating our Paradise.  If they give you any s**t, give it back to them!


[More money than esthetics] Developers are building a luxury gated community in Marathon called the Marlin Bay Yacht Club. In the typical cluelessness of most developers they are building it in a Dutch style.

[To the Clinton basher] I can see where your confusion is. I think maybe you forgot that we didn’t go into Iraq to stop Muslim violence as you said we went in because Saddam had WMD that gave Saddam the ability to strike America in 45 minutes. As for Clinton helping to end the ethnic cleansing it really doesn’t matter if its Jewish people, Catholic people or Muslims. If we sat back and watched it happen it would have been a true shame. And I didn’t just make up the comment about Bush getting the best military in the worlds history. That claim was made by the field generals when they went before Congress to discuss the progress in Iraq. I hope you’re not implying they lied. It’s the continued occupation that is where the comment about placing our sons and daughters in the middle of a religious war is from. We could claim victory and let the people that have been killing each other for 2000 years keep doing it.
[Pick pocket cure]Ex-Marine Bill Barnes of Grand Rapids, Mich says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash. He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened. "I guess he thought I was an easy mark." Barnes is 72.

Sea lice are here every year around July and August. They are especially bad around floating sea weed.


This week we celebrate a special birthday.  Monica Lewinsky turned 31. Can you believe it?  It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around the White House on her hands and knees, and putting everything in her mouth.  They grow up so fast, don't they?

["bad" means getting caught]  Wow, there's a very accurate description of the current social attitude.  Pass the word; "sneakiness" is not a virtue.

[Enough about Bill Clinton, he’s history] Enough about Bush as well because he is history too! 

[sea lice]  There are probably a lot of experienced people reading this with good prevention and cure home-type remedies.  How about sharing?



[Rules of engagement and the Uniform Code of Military Justice are the only things that separates “them” from “us”. That is why we are better than them.]  What idiot wrote this. You obviously have never been shot at or even near real war. There are no rules for killing one another. With knife, gun, club or politics, it is all the same. Kill or be killed! Rules are why we will be extinct in a few years!

[a school board member and charter boat owner just sold his land on Stock Island for 8.4 million dollars. I know no affordable housing will be built there. ] Of course not, but high end condos and maybe a resort, will be. Why, because Stock Island has deep water. Deep water means bigger yachts, and bigger yachts mean bigger bucks! The "affordable shacks" will be built from Bay Point to Big Pine Key, where the junta can push the Stock Island peasants to. Don't kid yourself, this is the plan because we don't have deep waters around the Lower Keys and transportation for the servant personnel will be supplied free to the Key West area.



[Darfur] So that civil war we should go settle?  I need a program.

Both Bush and Clinton were and are terrible presidents. They are the epitome of dirty politicians. I was a republican. I was brought up to believe republicans wanted less government. What happened? They have created so much bureaucracy over the last several years it makes me sick. I will not vote for either a democrat or republican this time around. I'm going for the independent.

[Don't crap when you are at Picnic Isle.] Wait until you get to a canal and crap there. Most canals are nothing but septic drain off's anyway, so what's the big deal?





[Selective editing] Certainly. That's the very definition of "editor". It's the perks of being Ed. It's kind of like being king.

Injade will be back at the Key Deer again this Friday night from 7-11pm. And if there's no threat of rain there will be a great BBQ too.

You can also hear Injade debut in Marathon this Saturday night at a benefit for the Kids Music Camp at the amphitheater in Marathon. Injade will be going on around 9:00 and it's suppose to be a great party.  Hope to see you all this weekend!



Sea Lice get into your bathing suit and they don't go away by washing only. They burrow into your skin so wearing a thong in a sea lice infested area is probably not a good idea. All the people throwing chicken bones and other garbage in the water out there is most likely the reason for the infestation.

[Mercenary defender] May I ask you, did your mother have any smart children? What good it is to make a profit if you're dead. Or in your eyes a soldier has no right to stay alive. The uniformed code of military justice has nothing to do with combat. We all know that is immoral to kill defenseless women and children, they are noncombatants. But you see a kid or a female in a second story window with a rifle or a grenade. Run away, so she can have a go at you later? Sure there are some that are without scruples. Name me a profession that lacks those. I hate to think of my son, or any soldier loosing his life because he had to think about what he should do while looking down the barrel of a rifle held by a kid. I'll shoot a kid if he pointed a bow and arrow at me with intent.  



...and here's your foo king license.
The United States of America made Brazil and other country's get standardized passports for everyone traveling in the western hemisphere by land, sea and air by December 31, 2006. Brazil accomplished this. Our country could not. I thought Brazil, along with their beautiful women, bikinis, and waxing was kind of like a third world country, but they have their act together more then we do. Our great country will be lost because of politicians that only care about themselves.





[To the person who saw my point] I don't think you could have seen my point if you were looking through the Hubble telescope!

Speaking of the electric company; what's up with all the power outages lately? It's beginning to remind me of 20 years ago when it was the old City Electric.
Homeland security has a form for illegal immigrants entering our country to declare a firearm. Isn't that simply hilarious? Like an illegal alien is going to fill out a form for homeland security stating that he is bringing a gun to the US. Why is homeland security getting involved with the girls who are getting harassing phone messages? We have police and FBI for that. I thought homeland security was for anti-terrorist stuff. But like the family said the cops weren't doing anything.

[Men kill animals; it has always been that way] That's poppycock. I personally know lots of men who do not kill animals, never have killed an animal, and never would.  They also don't eat them, wear them or have them around for their general amusement purposes. So, no, that statement is in error.  Just as much as there may be "men" who kill animals, there are also other "men" out there who don't.  I personally think it comes down to compassion and respect for other living things.  It seems to me that there is a general aura of desensitization and ignorance regarding animals, as demonstrated in the statement at the beginning of this paragraph. 

Every animal has its own reality, it's own experience and life.  Just like us. Most of the time from what I have observed, animals are just doing their thing, trying to live the life they were born into just like us until a human being takes it away from them (sometimes it’s another animal).  Animals do experience emotions and fear and pain among other sensations like us as well. We just have to start thinking about if we were them in any given situation, how would we react, how would perceive what is going on and what would it feel like as that situation is happening at that moment to us?  That knowledge is why we should try to adopt a more compassionate and insightful attitude towards animals in general.  If we can control it, which we can, if we can control whether or not an animal lives or dies or its quality of life, then given that ability, maybe we should take the more positive approach.  Try to (mentally or physically) experience the conditions the animal is in or has to be exposed to, and if you think (or know) it would be terrifying or painful, the animal probably does too.   
I can't speak for everyone, but I think perhaps part of the reason everyone is so pissed off about the gator situation is that the people who killed it did not seem to demonstrate that insight as I spoke of above, and that could be dangerous.  And even if people do not agree with my insight, then there is the fact that they took away something that many people around here felt quite fondly towards.  Some people liked the alligator and it brought them some degree of happiness or pleasure  knowing it was there, seeing it and thinking it was relatively safe. these men intruded upon that when they killed it.  So not only did they take the life away from this animal that had the misfortune of, well, just trying to live it's life undisturbed, but they also took away something from us folks who had the pleasure of knowing him or her, even if it was a different species than our own and at a distance. 

What is the size limit for a boat for the canals.  I have a 31 foot boat I am thinking of buying, but my canal isn't the biggest. Plus it has a 10 foot beam. I think I can get it in, but what’s right for everyone; any thoughts?

You and yours do a fine job with Bigpinekey.com, I'm afraid that I've become a bit addicted to the site.  It really is fascinating to see the different "takes" that can be made by people viewing the same facts.  I've got to confess that I'm surprised by the depth of feeling that some express.  I'm also intrigued by how much people are influenced by emotion rather than reason. 

My God, my God, who is the whacko saying those men should get off their punishment after killing the alligators by pulling some weeds along side of the road? Are you freaking nuts? What do you want them to get when they rob the Dions next? What will you want them to get when they rape a woman leaving a local establishment? Everyone knows if they get off without jail time, their going to jump for joy saying, "Look what we did, and we got off!"  What can we do next up on the ladder and see if we can get off with that too?

Do you want that? Well do you ? If you said, “Sure, they can’t be that bad.” well then, (first of all you need to be flogged first) then everyone of you stinking bleeding heart people out here who "feel" for these two, send in your home addresses and we'll be sure to give them to those two and have them pick out which one they will torment next. Heh? Like that? Come on now, go ahead and send them in, I’m sure they wont be "too" bad the next time, or will they?

Hey, "smart judge" how about some time out on the road, on the hot road, in orange? Then maybe some time in-house, perhaps specifically in their cells. Wait, maybe in "Bubba's" condo cell. Yeah, have them spend some good ole' time in Bubba's cell.  After that experience they'll just spend their time sitting around thinking, "What else can we do that’s so stupid that it’ll put us right back in here with our newly found friend, Bubba?"

People, get your heads on right! You want things to be right, but are so freaking scared to do something to make it that way. And you call yourselves Americans!

Clinton was one of the best presidents I have seen in my lifetime.  He had his faults like we all do, but all in all he did a pretty good job.  If he ran a country for two terms and the worst thing he did was receive a little oral pleasure I'd vote for him again. 

[Take care of yourself and quit trying to get someone else to plan for you]  Best advice ever spoken, applicable to all areas of life!

Bickering Neighbor Dept.
[Show-Off] You really crave attention with your materialistic acquisitions. What you really need is medication for your Bipolar Disorder. Looks like that dirty money doesn't make you happy. Same with the sourpuss you run with. You deserve each other. It's much classier to be understated than to be ostentatious. You are probably financed to the gills and that's why you both have such nasty dispositions. I would take a poor, happy person over what you claim to have any day. Not jealous, just disgusted and un-impressed. You would never know that we are multi-rich but very happy and low key because we don't have anything to prove.

[Crap on lawn] You didn't have to put up with the stench and the eye burning and the headaches. You didn't have to keep your windows closed all winter and have the air-conditioned running. You could sit on your balcony--we couldn't. The other people across the street have been very friendly. They always smile and say “hi”, you never have. They even welcomed me and my husband to the neighborhood, you never did. You want to know about me. I raised by myself my son who has aspergers(?). for eight years. I took care of my mother when she was bedridden with Alzheimer’s. I have helped my brother-in-law’s family when they needed help and my husband’s mother. But I guess all that doesn't make me as good a person as you. We never knew because we were never told by anyone that samples were taken. We never called on you. So I don't know what you are talking about there. We tried to help Andrew and when we saw we were being ripped off we kicked him out. I even packed up his clothes and threw them outside. There is a lot more to me and my life, but someone as small minded as you would never understand what I went through. Everyone has a story, but I don't think telling you mine would even make a dent. The only people who have been rude to us is you. Everyone else on this street has been very friendly and nice except you.

Calling me a liar about were the contaminated soil came from when I watched and smelled were it came from. No soil was removed from your property only new soil was brought in to replace the soil that was removed from leach field. Yes, I called Code Enforcement when the stench and eye irritation was so bad we had to close all the windows and run the air-conditioning during a time when the weather was nice enough to have them open. Code Enforcement never called back so I have no idea weather they ever came out or not.

As far as the cameras I have are under my house and they cover the carport. How would you know weather I have surveillance or not unless your nose has been looking were it doesn't belong.

Ah, and we come to Andrew. Yes, we did take him in when he was down and out. I made him get a job. When we found out that he could not or would not hold a job he was kicked out. I have helped out many people during my life and will keep doing so if I think they will try to help themselves. Andrew was one that would not help himself and was kicked out for it. Even with all that has been going on if you need help all you need do is knock on our door. If it is in my power and I am able to help I will.

As far as the sheriffs helping you out, I have never said anything about it. I could care less who helps you. I am glad you can turn to someone during these sad times.



E-coli can kill you. Go to Picnic Island and have a great time. Human and animal waste in the water will kill you. It starts with a very serious viral infection in your intestines. I almost died from it. Call me if you want to. 305-304-1132. I’ll tell you about the horrible problems I have had since drinking water contaminated with shit.  Year and a half and I’m still very sick.

[86 The Hungarian] The evening of the 23rd. was designated for a big Christmas Party, presents for everyone. I was looking forward to that. After a nice Christmas type dinner (mom raised many turkeys, but I never had a turkey dinner) we were to go to the post theater to get presents and see the movie White Christmas. The dinner was wonderful I don't know how many turkeys went to turkey heaven, but everybody got a drumstick. Christmas tunes were played at the dining hall and we ate until it ouched. The theater was all decorated in Christmas finery and there were at least a dozen soldiers in beautiful uniforms. The other soldiers wore their dress uniforms too. Speeches were made and I heard several references to Hungarians and freedom and revolution. When the speeches ended the curtain opened and on the stage was the biggest pile of toys that I have ever seen. The Hungarian

Wednesday June 27, 2007
I'm getting a little confused here.  How is it that someone saying how arrogant Jimmy Buffett is considered slander and has their email address printed but someone else calling our current and former President a murderer isn't?  Selective editing at it's finest.  I think out editor must listen to his Jimmy Buffett CD on his way to Key Deer Bar to see The Moon Dogs.  They get protected when the Chief Executive Officer of The United States of America is fair game.

Yes sir, I sure do not love Mr. Clinton:  The other day a poster sang the praises of Bill. The poster praised our intervention in the Bosnia conflict, saying that Clinton is now considered a hero, that our troops were not at risk, and the poster criticized George W Bush for getting involved in a religious conflict.  Stop ethnic cleansing was the battle cry!  Remember that it was Christians killing Muslims in that conflict. We were on the side of the Muslims. That sure sounds like a religious conflict to me.  The west and the US sure as hell didn’t win a lot of collateral in the Muslim world for our saving the Muslim bacon (oops, not politically correct).

During that conflict there were US causalities (that's deaths and wounding).  Further, our forces lost two F117s, both to ground fire.  One Nighthawk crashed, and one made it back to base but never flew again.  Look, Bosnia was a religious war, and it was a proper use of our power.  The pure raw fact is that we did not undertake the Iraq mission to engage a religious conflict.  The US mission was, and continues to be to keep Muslim fundamentalist terror mongers away from the United States and to thwart their ambitions to rule a Muslim planet.

The Poster also claims that Bill Clinton left us (that’s the United States) with “the most powerful military in history”.  My grandpa used to say “look it up”, I did.  In 1990 the US spent about 306.2 billion on its’ military.  In 1999 (the end of the B.C. budgeting) the US spent about 281 billion on its’ military.  I suspect that spending 25 billion less on our troops did not increase the power of our military. 

Remember BC’s rant that he hated the military. Enough about Bill Clinton, he’s history.

This "unconditional love" trend to promote self-esteem in kids has created a whole bunch of dangerous people who think "bad" means getting caught.

[Another blow against affordable housing in the keys] The lose of another trailer park just puts another dagger in our communities hearts. I am thinking about trying to get my property rezoned. A cannabis farm sounds good. Maybe if I had enough money to lobby these people my dream could become a reality. Andy Griffith a school board member and charter boat owner just sold his land on Stock Island for 8.4 million dollars. I know no affordable housing will be built there. I think the guy who owns the Miami Dolphins and some other very wealthy people bought it. I think his name is Huizenga or something. He does have a beautiful sea plane. Huizenga and some associates(?) are also doing something with Chub Cay in the Bahamas. This guy wants every place to be like Miami. I think it is time for some protests and picketing paparazzi style at these elected officials offices and homes.
I was disappointed in one female volunteer at the Blue Hole. After Wilma I personally reported to a female ranger at the Blue Hole about a Logger Head Turtle swimming around. The women did nothing. She just went back to her conversation with someone about a washer and dryer she lost in the storm. So I then called the turtle rescue center and they too did nothing or at least never let me know if they did. I have never understood their complete apathy to the situation. I believe the turtle died in there.

The guys who killed the gator at the Blue Hole should not get more then one year in jail. Depending on how remorseful they are I could go as low as a couple of months and community service cleaning animal habitat. Long Beach is always disgusting with garbage. We should just put them to work cleaning up BPK. In my small mind the biggest crime they committed was killing a wild animal, not even a mammal that was living in a wildlife reserve. Men kill animals; it has always been that way and will always be that way. But there is a time and a place for it and an animal reserve is not the place. We have these reserves to protect animals. They deserve some punishment, but we already have enough men in prison. These two men could possibly be rehabilitated. They are still young and we should try. There are plenty worse things those guys could have done. There are plenty of dead pine trees that could be cut down and removed. This is a smart judge, and he will come up with something good for these guys.


Someone's talking in circles. First they said they were told by people at the electric company that "there was a computer problem and most Piners didn't get their bill". Then the person said It was a Post Office problem. Is it me or wouldn't the Post Office have to get the bill first? It had to be the electric company because they don't waive fees for someone else's screw ups. Follow the money.

[And we can't send this scum and his lawyer to a penal colony in Afghanistan why?] Kenneth Glenn Hinson, 48, who had served time for raping a 12-year-old girl, was arrested last year after two teenage girls reported that they had been kidnapped from their bedroom and dragged into a tiny, dungeon-like hole in Hinson's backyard, bound with duct tape and repeatedly raped. Despite the evidence, defense lawyer Rick Hoefer managed to convince a jury in Darlington, S.C., to find Hinson not guilty on all charges in April (based on the girls' inconsistent testimony), and Hinson remains in jail today only on an unrelated gun charge.

[Clinton legacy] The rabid Clinton hater forget to mention that in Darfur over 400,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million have been displaced since Bush has done nothing to help them.




If you feel like you have to crap when you are at picnic Isle.  Just hold it until you get home.  The discomfort will pass after a while.

Yesterday's mercenary defender said it himself, “there are no rules of engagement with mercenaries, extreme violence keeps one alive.” And that is the problem. Rules of engagement and the Uniform Code of Military Justice are the only things that separates “them” from “us”. That is why we are better than them. Mercenaries are animals, always have been. They kill for profit and f**k everyone else.





I am a highly "Spiritual Person" and I am a woman  who attends church regularly!

[Dan Schwab] I agree with these poor folks 100 percent, at least that BMW was worth something!

[Picnic Island] Port-a-potties. If you can't plan ahead bring a bucket or a portable potty of your own.  Or maybe if you have to go take the boat home or to a public restroom somewhere.  People have been going out there for years.  Take care of yourself and quit trying to get someone else to plan for you; or stop trying to make things sound dirty because you don't like it.

If we leave now the Iraqis that are fighting us will start fighting ad Qaeda, whom they hate just as much as the Americans.





Is there anything I can anoint my self with to prevent sea lice.

How many of 24 terror-attacks did Bill Clinton respond to?  When the synchronized 9/11 attacks occurred, remember what Bill remarked?  When Bill left us "the surplus", what one-time market phenomenon occurred simultaneously?  How skilled was his "surplus" bookkeeping?  Is the Kosovo War over? Not for the European Allies we dumped Kosovo onto. No wonder they won't assist Iraq!  With whose corporate assistance did Bill contract in Kosovo? Yup: Halliburton.










[Wetstock 2] If you're too old to control your bowels you should stay home near your toilet. You're probably forgot how to party anyway.

[Greenish brown pieces of cut up skin] While it is hard to verify without seeing them, the description sounds like the algae that floats up from the bottom of many canals this time of year.  




Powerful Republicans are breaking with the president on Iraq. Senator Lugar and Warner both have told Bush to get out. I believe Bush is just waiting to leave office so history will show that some other president gets stuck with the quagmire.

[Wetstock 2] Since when does not wanting to swim with turds make you an old fart?

[Locusts] I should have said cicada, I guess. Locusts are grasshoppers.  I don't think I saw any lubber grasshoppers at all last summer. The Wilma surge possibly knocked their numbers way back. The surge killed most of the Cuban ground snails, too, but I'm starting to see them around this summer. I killed two just last night that had apparently climbed up a wire cage to get to my hymenocallis lilly.

I've got no problem with dogs on Picnic Island but it would sure be nice if their owners cleaned up the steaming piles left by their pets on the beach. This would work well at the Ramrod Swimming Hole, too. Maybe most owners do clean up as a courtesy to those sharing the area, but there are obviously some exceptions. I think we can do better.


Enjoy your summer vacation!

[“lizard” skin in canal] It sounds like the crap that's on the
