Good Back To Normal Monday

Good morning world

Another damn cold day down here.

Aside from the newer, mainland-style, houses built down here more recently, the traditional, older, Keys houses don't have central a/c or heat. We have ceiling fans in most rooms and a/c units in the rooms we actually want to cool on the hottest days of summer. In winter we just pull the cold-weather clothes out and go around looking like we're trying to survive a blizzard. Yesterday I was sitting at my desk wearing a wool hat, gloves and scarf to keep warm enough to work. When it gets too cold we close off some rooms and then we cook and bake to warm the kitchen enough to warm the rest of the place. The Keys is a strange place if you live here, and if you live here you're strange. That suits me fine.

This really needs pics to complete the visual.

I lived in the Keys for 9 months. I somehow ended up doing nightly coconut painting and actually started looking forward to it.

Then there is this killer that was just caught in the Keys that for Thanksgiving killed most of the dinner party. Jupiter Thanksgiving killings suspect: The man in room No. 14.

Yeah, that's a lovely rainbow trout (for those who didn't know and yet do care).

Cleo - Funny you say that about Abe, since I do feel like I'm living in a Daliesque surreal world sometimes. You know, like anytime the news is on.

Oh...and if by scary you mean "glaring at the monitor because I can't see the button to click with my other hand when I don't have my glasses on"...then yes, sure, very scary.

Here's a larger version of the image. You need to be far away, or squint your eyes (or take off your glasses if you wear them) to make Lincoln come into focus.
