Monroe County Commissioner George Nuegent stood before the county council the other night and proceeded to open the pandora’s box that nobody in the Keys, at least nobody in their right mind, wanted to hear. Nuegent wants to put a casino in Marathon. Specifically, at Marathon Airport. He gave all the usual rhetoric, property not [...]
My Final Post…

Yeah, you wish. Let me rephrase that. My final post, on my laptop. This week begins the Grand Experiment. I am going to attempt to live using only my iPad. Perhaps I should clarify. I have two computing devices I use at the moment. A Mac Air laptop and an iPad. I needed both when [...]
Every couple of years or so I find myself back on a bicycle again. I’ll go for a while just driving a vehicle or motorcycle, but then the urge to pedal comes back and I am back in the saddle again. This is one of those times. At this point I am trying to sell [...]

Reducing your personal possessions, the stuff you need to get through life, to a total of 100 items. Actually [...]
Get thee thy plasma flat screen, with premium channels, or thy shall surely burn…
