Gone native

[Bobcat]

I was 19 the first time I saw the Ocean...Traveled from Nellis AFB to LA...after drinking all Night...I believe it was a six hour drive...I kept thinking it was above us, and why didn't it come crashing into us.. And at that point, I knew..that I had to live near it....A Year later I was stationed in Kunsan ROK right on the Yellow Sea..A little different perspective, as it was Beach...with Barbwire, Mines , and Gatling Guns..ROK Marines killed 56 NK that year...Got lucky and spent two 35 day TDY (Temporary Duty) In the Philippines...Indian Ocean...Birthplace of Sea life... and all Life.

Discovered the Keys in 84, drove down to KW...and thought, I want to live here someday..took another 22 Years...Worth the wait...Just spent the last 4 hours in the Water...

So, all beers come with pot stirrers down there?

Uh huh.

 

[Bobcat]

Only the Classy joints.

Is it just to keep the sun out of the tab hole?

 

[Dude! Sweet!]

Is it just to keep the sun out of the tab hole?

Is that what we're calling it now? A "tab hole"?

 

[Bobcat]

In Mexico it's "Tabholio"

 

[Ratickle]

All of the really good "hole" names were already used up......

Finally, the prophetic "Gone Native" thread is actually true.

Anybody know if he has 6 toes?

"Even the famous colony of six-toed cats that lives at the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West survived the storm, all 54 of them."

I doubt it. Guys like him don't always have the original 5.

[Ratickle]

He said he was at United and Grinnell when he was all boarded up and in.


He did say the place had a 3rd story widows walk too.......


Oh, and a pool

 

[Ratickle]

What do you think?

 

[Blue Oval]

Yes , I believe that is it. 1001 is the street address?

 

[Blue Oval]

It has a great look out spot on top of the house. Or had one?

 

[fund razor]

Still there. Roof could use some paint.

 

[Ratickle]

I'm not sure those pics are post hurricane?

 

[Ratickle]

I guess they are. I see some areas of big damage, and some of what appears to be zero damage.....

That link shows boats up on the break wall in the marina and sand across the road in spots.
