I have always considered thursday night the best part of Fantasy Fest. Two major events.

The best of the best is Toga Party. Technically, Sloppy Joe’s. Actually, all of Duval and adjoining side streets. People galore scantily attired in abbreviated white sheets. Women exposing personal parts for beads. All eyes wide open taking in the events.

Many women walking about with breasts totally exposed. Spray painted. Palm trees, flamingoes, etc. Expensive art. Street artists getting $100 plus for their efforts.

No question, thursday toga is an adult party. 

The second major event is the Headdress Ball. Coffee Butler Amphitheater at 8 pm. A spectacular show. Huge head attire on participants. Tall! Magnificently done. How they balance the huge headdresses is beyond me. Accompanied by great music. Not adult entertainment. A tasteful event, enjoyable in its own right for viewing.

When I would frequent thursday evenings, my evening would begin with the Headdress Ball and then to Duval for toga time. 

A great evening. Followed by total exhaustion.

Another article by grandson Robert Malcom . Published just one hour ago this morning: “Wake Forest Head Coach Dave Clawson Discusses Matchup Against Florida State.” Great reading. NoleGameday.com.

I am still in the midst of moving.

Enjoy your day!

Short blog today. Busy moving this week. Did not intend to write this morning. However last night too good not to share.

I went to The Grand for Happy Hour. Had to park 3 blocks away. The walk a killer!

Key West is mobbed! Unusual for so early in the Fantasy Fest week. Everyone partying big time already. Many will not make it to saturday night and the parade.

The crowd primarily middle aged. As many men in tutus as women. Highly unusual. Stupid also I thought. Men look ridiculous in tutus.

Several women were pantyless under their tutus. Something new. Rare. Illegal, of course. From a voyeur point of view, interesting. 

My blog for the day. Moving problems/details of primary concern.

Grandson Robert Malcom has an article in NoleGameday today. The article: Florida State Linebacker Tatum Bethune Is Eager to Make His Mark Against Wake Forest. NoleGameday.com.

Enjoy your day!

I am excited today to update you re my grandson Robert Malcom. He makes me proud.

Robert is a sophomore at Florida State. In the College of Communications studying Digital Media Production. Doing well academically. My recollection is all As and 2 Bs his freshman year to which he added 2 more As this summer via online courses. It is not his grades alone which please me. It is something else which I now share with you.

One of Robert’s first year courses involved media writing. His professor apparently was impressed with Robert’s work and brought Robert to the attention of Dustin Lewis. Lewis is the Editor in Chief of NoleGameday. A publication that can be found at NoleGameday.com. The publication a daily one. It has to do with Florida State sports. Not directly affiliated with Florida State. 

The professor sent a copy of something Robert had written to Lewis and suggested Lewis might be interested in bringing Robert on board NoleGameday.

Lewis did. 

NoleGameday has a staff of 6 in addition to Lewis. All are paid employees, except for Robert. Robert is an intern and works for the glory and experience involved. You will be impressed with what Robert does.

He is up with the football team mornings and at the field at 8. He is with them at other times including games.

During the games, he sits in the press box where the for real reporters sit. Robert has a chair reserved for him. With Florida State ranked #4, a couple of national sport reporters also are in the box. Robert’s function is to take notes re the game and write a column which NoleGameday generally will publish the next day. He also is responsible for videoing certain game events on the field for social media such as Instagram.

During the week, Robert writes re the players, the next game and anything which excites him at the moment. He is published 3-4 times a week.

His most recent article was published yesterday. It shares Robert’s thoughts re Florida State’s victory over Duke saturday. A game Florida State fans thought their team was going to lose till Florida State’s dynamic 4th quarter. The article is titled: Florida State Fans, Former Players, React to The Seminoles’ Thrilling Win Over Duke. You may wish to read it.

I am impressed with Robert’s writing. Not merely because he is my grandson. Rather because it is good. As good as the many articles I refer to you to read in my daily blog. Ergo every time Robert publishes, I will be mentioning the article.

Today is officially Day 2 of Fantasy Fest.

Fantasy Fest starts slowly and builds each day during the week. By thursday, it is is on a roll. Saturday brings 60,000 to 80,000 fans yelling and screaming as the Parade goes by. I don’t know where they all sleep. Not enough hotel/motel beds in all the Keys to accommodate such a number. I suspect many sleep on the beach that night.

Today finds all kinds of parties in the Duval Street area. Walk around and enjoy.

Is this the last year for painted boobs?

Key West Mayor Johnston is opposed to them and wants them banned beginning next year. Why, I am not sure. Maybe it’s a woman’s thing.

Anyhow, the banning does not make sense to me. I have been a Johnston supporter since she first ran. She is wrong in this instance, however. Painted breasts have become an integral part of Fantasy Fest.

I do not believe the issue will gain Commission or public support. A few religious zealots will support Johnson’s position. That is all, I suspect.

Banning painted female breasts will result in downplaying the adult attraction aspect of Fantasy Fest. Tourists do not come for a Halloween costume party. They come for the down and dirty. The merchants know it. The hotels/motels, bars, restaurants, etc. will scream if such a ban is imposed. Later October is dead time for them. Fantasy Fest gives them an economic shot they need during that time of year.

Mitt Romney recently hit out at Donald Trump, saying Trump represents a “failure of character.”

Mildly stated.

Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS are closing thousands of stores. Leaves the U.S. in a dangerous situation for older adults. Where closings have occurred, a trend has begun indicating older adults fail to take their prescribed medications.

Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy sunday, announcing it was closing 400-500 of its 2,200 stores.  Walgreens closings come amid walkouts by pharmacists over low pay and understaffed stores.

A major reason drug stores are hurting economically is because of lower reimbursement rates for prescription drugs.

No evidence linking the Detroit synagogue President’s fatal stabbing to anti-Semitism says Detroit’s police chief. 

I find the police chief’s conclusion strange under the the growing anti-Semitism which is evident in the U.S. Simply hard to buy! What facts did he rely on?

Five days after Hamas accused Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza City and killing thousands of people, Hamas has yet to produce or describe any evidence linking Israel to the strike, says it cannot find the munition that hit the site, and has declined to provide detail to support its count of the casualties.

Hamas is known to “lie.” The world was quick to accept the lie. Such happens in war related reports. However everyone should take a deep breath first before accepting such representations. Especially when it comes from a group such as Hamas whose history is that of a liar.

The Detroit Pistons waived Buddy Boeheim. Boeheim was cut saturday, just 2 days ahead of the NBA’s monday deadline for teams to finalize their opening night rosters.

What’s next for the former Syracuse basketball star and son of Jim Boeheim?

Enjoy your day!

Big day today. Two major events.

One is the Zombie Bike Ride. Big not sufficient to describe. Several thousand will participate. Family friendly. Everyone costumed in one fashion or another. All bike riding.

A pre-party from 2-6 pm at Fort East Martello. The actual bike ride begins at 6. Streets along the route totally blocked with cyclists. The  ride 4 miles. Begins at East Martello. Then along the ocean down South Roosevelt Boulevard, past Higgs Beach, and finally through Old Town streets. 

All along the route, non-bikers will be partying from porches cheering the cyclists on.

A big party afterwards at the Coffee Butler Amphitheater.

The second event scheduled at 9 this morning. Already has begun since it is after 9 that I am writing.

The event is to mark the tenth anniversary of Diana Nyad’s 111 mile swim from Havana to Smathers Beach. The trip took Nyad 52 hours 54 minutes.

Nyad is here for the event.

She will release a 120 pound adult female green sea turtle rehabilitated at the Marathon Turtle Hospital. The turtle’s name “Rocky.” Strange for a female turtle, however so named.

Two thousand are expected to view the event.

Bad things happening throughout the U.S. which continue to suggest rising anti-Semitism,

Most recent is the stabbing to death of prominent Detroit synagogue leader 40 year old Samantha Wolf. She was found stabbed to death outside her home yesterday. The stabbing occurred inside. Her body outside with the a trail of blood leading back into the house.

A motive for the killing not yet officially determined. Authorities caution against conclusions till their investigation complete.

Watched Florida State/Duke last night. Unusual game. Florida State looked terrible for most of the first 3 quarters. Always behind. Then came to life. Had a big 4th quarter. Ended up winning decisively 38-20.

A hell of a finish!

Enjoy your Sunday!  

Goombay began last night. I have not attended in several years. All walking. Too much for my legs.

Yesterday was a perfect example of the leg problem. Needed to get something at Home Depot. Did one aisle and I was done for. My right leg and hip hurt like hell. Took forever to get back to the car.

Goombay again tonight. A family affair. Unquestionably. Always fun, regardless of age. Everyone properly attired.

I have been hearing complaints however about the cost. The food. I have been told around $50 a couple. Street food. Nothing fancy. Good. No question. Again cost factor bothering some.

Note that most of the vendors are not local. Come from Tampa. Apparently follow street festivals.

I have also been advised that the people attending are mostly tourists as opposed to locals. Such would be new for me. My recollection is it was always a family dominated local event. Again, I have not attended in several years.

Fantasy Fest technically begins tomorrow. The action and fun increases in intensity as the week progresses. Thursday through saturday nights the best. Thursday is toga party time! Saturday the parade.

A week of fun! Adult, of course. Enjoy. If some nudity offends you, don’t go. The complaints are minimal but seem to get the big news. A shame. Fantasy Fest is what it is. 

Citizens’ Voice this morning: “Time to dream for success – and excesses!”

“Excess” is what Fantasy Fest is all about!

On this day in 1965, 92 year old Anselmo Hernandez arrived in Key West as a refugee from Cuba. 

He claimed he was a friend of Ernest Hemingway and that Hemingway had visited with him every time he was in Cuba. He was a fisherman. Hernandez explained to everyone Hemingway was constantly telling him he would someday write about him.

Hernandez said, “He did!” Claimed he was Hemingway’s inspiration for “The Old Man and the Sea.”

The U.S. Navy has always been concerned about Key West prostitution. Before, during and following World War II. Constantly forced local authorities to close houses of ill repute, arrest madams, arrest ladies working the houses, and close bars the ladies would frequent.

On this day in 1953, the Navy went after the taxi drivers. They requested 5 Key West taxi drivers’ licenses be suspended because the drivers were engaged in prostitution operations.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has acquired three new Trauma Star helicopters. Cost $52 million. 

Definitely required to get the heavily injured and sick to a Miami hospital swiftly. Face it, we do not have a full staffed hospital nor sufficiently trained medical specialists to care for us. Major issues need the best, the top of the line to provide care.

No reflection on the hospital or doctors we do have. Merely an observation of what is needed to keep us alive.

Thank God the need has been recognized over the years!

Two American hostages released by Hamas. Now Hamas should release the other 20 odd American hostages.

Why just the tease of “two?”

Jim Jordan got what he deserved. He deserved the embarrassment. He thought the bully in him had everyone bullshitted or fearful. No way, Jose! he learned.

Expect more to turn and accept pleas in the Georgia case. Trump’s “friends” will become increasingly limited as time goes on. It always happens when a person’ ass is on the line. Every one for themselves.

A “holier than thou” gets his. Joseph Harding is a former Florida legislator. He penned Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.

He was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison for wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements in connection with obtaining $150,000 in COVID-19 relief loans.

My blood pressure will remain low this saturday. Syracuse not playing. Drew a bye.

I have not written much this past week. Will be missing some days this coming week. I have to move. Been going crazy looking for a place not one which only a Rockefeller could afford. Finally successful. Now the moving. A pain in itself. Bear with me.

Enjoy your day!

Two things are causing me grave concern at the moment.

One is Biden’s trip to Israel tonight. I fear for his life. He goes a step too far. Sick minds around the globe have to be thinking how can we get him. The trip a PR one. He has made his position and that of the U.S. clear. 

The other is the possibility of Jim Jordan being elected House Speaker later today. He is a “legislative terrorist.” We do not need him.

A cool front sneaked into Key West early last night. At around 7 pm, it was 76. Cold for me begins at 74. I could feel it at 76. Others, also. Saw people walking around and riding bicycles wearing jackets or sweatshirts.

To feel the cold understandable. The summer was especially hot. Nineties many days. Eighty degree temperature was still with us till yesterday. A drop to 76 significant.

At the moment, the temperature is 70 degrees. High today only 76. The weather man says 80s weather returns tomorrow. 

I will be wearing a sweat shirt when I leave the house today.

A loved Key West literary giant has passed on. Tom Hambright. Died at the age of 85. He was the Monroe County Library’s Historian  for more than 38 years.

When Hambright retired last year, he was succeeded by my son-in-law Corey Malcom who said in part: “Tom absolutely loved the history of Key West and the Florida Keys, and as anyone who met him knows, he was a walking encyclopedia of Keys knowledge…..what he leaves behind is deep, rich and strong – his work will always be with us.”

Coincidently, an article by Corey appeared yesterday in Keys Weekly re Jimmy Buffett: “Keys Historian Tracks Jimmy Buffett’s First Shows In Key West.” The article part of Corey’s monthly Island Chronicle.

Excellent reading. Suggest you read it. Google News carried it this morning also.

Corey indicates he searched through old issues of the local newspaper for much of the information. As you are aware, Steve Thompson is a dear and close friend. He came to Key West in the early 1970s. Reading Corey’s detailed review of those times was like sitting and listening to Steve relate those old early days. Steve ran with the Buffett crowd back then.

An early dinner with Kim at the Thai bar last night. Good company, good food.

A brilliant criminal conviction occurred this day in 1931. Proving if you can’t get a crook one way, get him another. Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion.

Through the generosity of Lynda Frechette: “COBWEB – The Old English word for “spider” was “cob.”

Another: “A Shot of Whiskey – In the old west, a .45 cartridge for a six-gun cost 12 cents. So did a glass of whiskey. If a cow hand was low on cash, he would often give the bartender a cartridge in exchange for a drink. This became known as a “shot” of whiskey.”

Another echo test at the hospital today. Heart attention never ceases. I am not complaining. At my age, glad I am getting the medical attention.

Do you get the sense the Republican Party is doing two things? One, attempting to destroy U.S. democracy. The other, burning the House of Representatives down.

Enjoy your day!

Oh, what a night it was! Good food, good people and pouring rain!

I have been in Key West 30 years. In all that time, I never visited the Southernmost Hotel. Last night, the first time for me. 

The game plan was for me to join Steve and Cindy for lobster pizza. A specialty of the house. Glad I went. What a beautiful layout! Right on the ocean. The view spectacular. You could taste the water.

We sat at a table right on the edge of their concrete dock. Another foot and we would have been swimming. Steve had recommended the lobster pizza and margaritas. Ok by me.

The pizza was excellent. Maine lobster well mucked up. On a thin pizza setting. 

The atmosphere and physical layout reminded me of a restaurant I frequent often when in Greece on the isle of Amorgos. With one exception. The tables were for two by the water and set so close to the edge of the dock that I was certain I would fall in each time.

As we finished the pizza and our second round of drinks arrived, the waitress came over and said she had to move us. It was going to rain. The words were no more out of her mouth than it poured. We tried sitting it out under an umbrella. No good. The rain swept in. So it was to a table by the bar which was covered with a huge overhang.

An umbrella provided by the waitress got me there. Me and my damp shirt and shorts which had been neatly pressed before I left home. Now, damp and wrinkled.

Anyhow, we were able to sit with a couple who was already there. Smart people. Never sat out in the first instance when they arrived.

Kim and Allen. The rain storm was fortuitous. Great people! Never would have met them were it not for the rain.

Both have been in Key West for several years. Kim is a service aid with Delta Airlines. She lives on a sail boat she owns. Allen works for a rental organization which provides all sorts of items. Not married. Do not live together. Dating apparently. Both oozed interest and charm.

Since I was at the head of the table and sitting immediately next to Kim, we monopolized each other’s conversation. Steve and Cindy were seated near Allen.

The issue of my apartment searching came up. I need to move. Time to do so short. Coming up with nothing. Both Kim and Allen thought they could be helpful, each knew someone, etc. A piece of paper and pen were gotten and I provided my personal information for whoever they knew to contact me.

Which brings me to a message dear readers. I am looking for an accommodation. A one or two bedroom at a reasonable rent. Know of anything, let me know.

It was a great evening. I enjoyed the lobster pizza and margaritas. However, Kim and Allen especially. Hope to run into them again.

I went home happy.

When will Israel begin its “land, air and sea” attack? Why the delay? Israel has already provided the Hamas demanded time for Gaza residents to leave. Hostages the problem? If so, understandable.

I am becoming uncomfortable. The longer the delay, the longer time is available for a Lebanon or Iran to jump into the fray. Which could mean the U.S. also. Biden already has a second carrier task force moving into the area.

The college and other demonstrations for the Palestinians bothers me. Does such mean they support what Hamas did and care not for the Israeli plight? Empathy for the Gazans I can understand. However if it means sympathy for Hamas, I cannot.

The demonstrators should make their positions clear.

The anticipated disaster involving Syracuse at the hands of Florida State occurred. Florida State destroyed Syracuse yesterday 41-3. A lousy afternoon of football for me and Syracuse.

I blame Coach Babers again. His head is screwed on wrong in coaching the team this season. His mismanagement of the team increasingly apparent with each game.

I did not recognize Syracuse yesterday. In prior games, it was a fast moving team. No huddle time. Rush to the line and move the ball. Yesterday was sleeping time. Huddle time. Slow moving. Changed the whole tempo of Syracuse play. Obviously did not affect Florida State.

Garrett Shrader could neither pass nor run effectively again. Probably as confused as the Syracuse fans. The Syracuse defensive line was good, although the score would indicate it. They held twice and prevented Florida State touchdowns.

Florida state went into the game ranked #4 nationally. They are a top team and could be the #1 in due course. Their play exceptional.

Enjoy your Sunday!

No question, the Hamas attack on Israel was one of history’s most diabolical. The initial cry was the Israelis were justified in seeking retribution. Lasted 24-48 hours.

The cries of “Oh! The poor Palestinians” then began and have become overwhelming. Too much already….. seems to be the cry.

Who is to judge? I suspect it will be the Israelis. They took the initial hard hit. I have heard of no Palestinian babies being decapitated or babies burned to death, mothers and daughters being raped, whole families being shot to death in their homes, etc.

Is it an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? I don’t know. One thing my gut tells me however, the demands that enough is enough are not enough. Not yet. Will not be till Israel decides so and says ok let’s talk.

Syracuse/Florida State at 12 noon on ABC.

I fear a painful afternoon.

Based on the Key West Citizen this morning, it does not appear much was resolved re the “nudity zone” issue for Fantasy Fest.

Key West created the event and let it grow. Developed with pimples and thorns, as some people describe the nudity situation. A handful, not many. Moralists of a sort. They come out every year to complain. And most, if not all, then visit the event to watch not much attired women walking about. 

Such hypocrisy!

Anyhow, the Commission did next to nothing. Left the issue to be decided for next year. Something it does every year.

Jim Jordan will get no help in his quest to become Speaker. Democrat House Minority Whip Katherine Clark labeled Jordan an “insurrectionist” friday. Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Jordan’s “focus has been on peddling lies and conspiracy theories and driving dissension amongst the American people.”

House Republicans must get their “house” in order. The country is the loser the longer they fail to do so.

Happy hour at the Thai with Steve, Cindy and Ellen yesterday. Steve good company. The best!

I have returned to the world of the living. My heart doctor cut my blood pressure pill in half two weeks ago for a week. Then cut it out completely this past week. Left me feeling like total shit. Constantly tired. Very tired. Never so exhausted. All day, every day. Ankles swelling. Of course, my blood pressure shot up.

Put me back on the pill thursday night. The initial whole dosage. Felt fantastic yesterday. I was back.

Interestingly, the doctor’s assistant told me I would feel better in 24 hours. I was. Even Steve noticed the difference in me.

Enough for today. In addition to the game, I have much to do.

Enjoy your day!

A few days ago, the news was “babies decapitated.” Since, “Babies burned!” 

Last night on MSNBC’s Ari Melber, 2 photos were shown of babies burned. The black charred remains of 2 babies.

The news gets worse each day. Whole families shot to death in their apartments, children killed in front of their parents, parents killed in front of their children,  rapes of women and teen girls, the bodies of Israeli soldiers found beheaded, and whatever else.

The Israelis must have retribution. Total. Total, plus. Anything less insufficient. This is not a turn the other cheek situation. Hamas must be punished even worse than the audacious crimes perpetrated on the Israelis. Not in the same manner as perpetrated by Hamas, however.

I say this because already people are crying enough getting even. Israelis are destroying Gaza. And they have only just begin. No land war yet. Such imminent, however

Israel’s attitude is correct. Don’t screw with us! They are handling the war imposed on them with their usual military brilliance. Closed off all food, water and electricity. Gaza’s hospitals are overloaded, the soon to be power shortage will kill many on life supports. Pictures on TV of injured and bloodied Gaza children. Sad! Terrible! The result of bombings. No decapitations or burnings to death, however.

The hostages are the immediate problem. An act of brilliance on the part of Hamas. Makers it difficult for Israel to retaliate. Makes Israel’s retribution difficult to obtain. A “hostage deal” is required and then let each side finish the fight one group against the other using acceptable grounds.

Hamas issued a warning to Israel. Forewarn Gaza of any heavy attack or we will publicly kill one hostage each time you fail. Israel warned of an attack on the north Gaza Strip yesterday. Israel warned of an attack with “massive force” and told everyone to get out within 24 hours. Sounds like the beginning of Israel’s land war. The area contains 1.1 million Palestinians. Israel told them to go south. The U.N. says it is impossible. Too many people. Hamas told the residents to stay. They described the warning as merely “psychological warfare.”

Not an easy war.

 Moving now to the Republican House of Representatives. A group in total disarray. Chaos. Scalise dropped out of the race last night. Jordan says he’s back in. Neither can garner enough votes to become Speaker. Solution, if any, up in the air.

I do not find the Republican dilemma amusing. Though many in the Republican House deserve the bad press they are getting. What is going on prevents the U.S. from functioning effectively.

I am anxious to see a final resolution. Nothing will surprise me. Even Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies becoming Speaker in a “coalition” type House government.

The annual discussion/issue/war came before the Key West Commission last night. Nudity during Fantasy Fest. Especially a woman’s breasts.

It’s the same every year. A handful (just like the House) opposed on religious/moral grounds is behind the uproar. Most residents think the issue is bullshit. If Key West wants to make the money it does as a result of Fantasy Fest, then recognize it got sold at one time as an adult party and so remains. People come here to party nude, semi-nude or to view the bare ass people running around.

The Commission’s action, if any, last night not reported in this morning’s Citizen. I do not know the result. Probably to the effect, breasts must be painted. If not, more than pasties required. Genitals of both sexes must be covered. A “zone” probably created where the degree of nudity decided upon can be practiced.

COLA Social Security 3.2 percent. Reported yesterday.

Syracuse a 17.5 point underdog in tomorrow’s game against Florida State.

On October 12, 1492, Columbus discovered America. Actually, a Columbus expedition landed on what today is the Bahamas.

Three hundred years later on October 12, 1792, the first recorded celebration of Columbus day was held to mark the tricentennial of Columbus’ landing.

Enjoy your day!

Israeli dead number up to 1,200. Include 140 children and 11 Americans. Hostages number 150.

Hamas cruelty beyond belief. Include 40 Israeli babies. Some decapitated. A body of a decapitated woman was discovered also.

Retaliatory blood will run deep. To be expected. The cheek cannot be turned with such brutality having been committed.

I have not looked upon Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s career or recent Presidential candidacy with favor. His father he is not. Not even close. His family apparently agrees with me. In words so strong that only family could express them. Four members of the family on monday denounced his decision to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden as “dangerous to our country.”

The statement denouncing his candidacy was signed by four of his siblings: Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former Rep. Joseph Kennedy, Rory Kennedy and Kerry Kennedy. The statement: “Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.”

Interesting. Scientific studies claim the “aerodynamic body of the bee is not adapted to fly, but it is good that the bee does not know about it…..The law of physics, the aerodynamic principle says that the width of the wings is too small to keep its huge body in flight, but the bee does not know it, it knows nothing about physics or its logic and still flies.”

There was a time it was accepted man could not fly. But he did fly! So well that he even was able to fly to the moon.

All this means there is no prohibitive bottom line to anything.

Syracuse/Florida State saturday. Syracuse 4-2, Florida State 5-0. Florida State ranked #4 nationally. I don’t know what the spread is. Don’t need to know. Florida State will win decisively.

Oh, the pain!

Today predicted to be a wet one. Rain coming in off the Gulf of Mexico.

George Santos is competing with Donald Trump. As to number of indictments. He was hit with 10 additional ones yesterday bringing his total to 23.

Still behind Trump. However, Trump has been at things far longer and has been more involved. Yet, Santos is not doing too bad.

Enjoy your day!
