THE SUN ROSE

The sun rose this morning. As it does every morning in one fashion or another. Today, a bright orange ball.

I  went outside to watch. Always beautiful, always uplifting. The beginning of a new day.

Yesterday, a laid back one for me. Other than an hour in the sun on the deck, I was inside. Researched tonight’s blog talk radio show. Watched TV in the evening.

Topics galore for my show this evening. Tuesday Talk with Key West Lou.

Without question, the Orlando story. A must. I have personal thoughts. as many do. I will share them this evening.

Having contrary thoughts not a bad thing. People not all the same. The problem is many in this country forget there are always two sides to a story, to a belief. Sometimes several.

the key is to listen. Respect. Think.

The show will also discuss California’s failure to count 2.5 million votes in the recent primary. Then the outing of another Secret Service failure. An agent e-mailing from the White House obscene material (his penis pic) to teenage girls, soliciting some for sex, etc.

How do these guys become Secret Service agents?

People can stand up for their rights and win. The tale of a Pennsylvania community that  successfully fought Nestle’s attempt to extricate 200,000 gallons of water a day from their township. To sell in supermarkets as Deer Park bottled water.

A few words re my KONK Life column this week: The Rape of Social Security.

Plus more.

The show is at 9 my time. A half hour of fast moving opinionated material. Many times revealing. Join me. www.blogtalkradio.com/key-west-lou.

Debra and Patrick are back in town. Have been for a few weeks.

Debra and Patrick very entertaining. Debra a fine voice. I have been privileged to hear her sing for more than 20 years. Generally, at La Te Da. This year, she and Patrick appeared elsewhere than in Key west. They have returned for a few weeks.

Debra and Patrick will appear friday and saturday nights at the Little Room Jazz Club.

One of Key West’s premier entertainers Larry Smith has been appearing monday nights at the Little Room Jazz Club for a year. Don’t miss him!

Pope Francis. A man of wisdom. He sees where others refuse to look. Sunday he blasted a world in which war is fed but the hungry are not. His words.

Enjoy your day!

KRIZIA NEGRON WEATHER GURU

How things happen.

I met Krizia Negron for the first time at the bocce party saturday night. She told me she was a meteorologist. I thought on TV. No, she works in the background at the National Weather Service on White Street. She prefers the type work she does. Plotting storms, hurricanes, studying patterns, etc.

Her work choice impressed me as well as her desire to perform behind the scenes.

Sometimes a person is outed for reasons beyond their control. Krizia was favorably outed in this morning’s Key West Citizen.

Front page. A large picture of Krizia preparing to release a weather balloon outside the National wWather Service building. On sunday morning, nevertheless. When most of us were still in bed.

One of her ways of following Tropical Depression 3/Tropical Storm Colin.

Colin will not pass anywhere near Key West. The cone indicates it will cross Florida somewhere in the middle of the State. Key West will be hit however with heavy rainfall and gusty winds. The rain and winds were due last night. Does not appear they occurred. More predicted for this afternoon.

The weather outside continues to be strangely calm.

I spent yesterday afternoon writing about corn flakes, masturbation and the Kellogg family. My weekly KONK column. It publishes wednesday. Titled: Corn Flakes…..Cure Masturbation. Something different.

The Warriors easily defeated the Cavaliers again last night. 110-77. I was surprised. Thought James and his team would win.

Today a memorable one in the history of the United States. D-Day. June 6, 1944. Allied troops landed on Normandy. The march to Berlin began.

Enjoy your day!
