Key West cruise ships | Imagine the crowds if there were still three ships a day
I can't get Rob O'Neal's picture of the cruise ship Norwegian Dawn out of my mind. Rob says in his social media post on Jan. 21, that he shot the picture from about three miles away as he was heading back into town. The 965-foot long ship, which docked at Pier B on Jan. 18, dwarfed the island....
Chinese spy balloon? Boring. We’ve got Fat Albert and the F-35s
Chinese spy balloon? Meh. While the conspiracy brethren and their political media managers were agog last week over that Chinese spy balloon's cross-country journey, the Florida Keys were all "hold my beer. I'mma gonna make me up a Facebook meme." When you've got Fat Albert (spying on the Florida...
Key West conversations | Remembering the good old days

Oh, and the occasional iguana or bird shortening out a power line or substation. ... See MoreSee Less
