A few weeks ago I proclaimed I was at the point I wanted to reach in terms of reducing my possessions down to the bare essentials. Yeah I am there but I still need to fine tune a few things here and there. Not anything major like going car free but when I moved I [...]
It has been almost a week now since I made the move to Key West so I thought this would be a good spot to post some first impressions. The past few weeks have been one major event after another. The jeep sale, changing banks, moving, and it is all starting to catch up with [...]
After a whirlwind week of moving, dealing with surly bus drivers, broke down cabs, and a nasty cold, I was able to take some time yesterday and ride the bike around my new home island. I have been wanting to ride around Key West for a while to see how long and difficult the ride [...]
