Recollections refreshed.
Key West happenings.
James Bond. A small part of the 1989 movie Licence to Kill was filmed in Key West. The rear area of 707 South Street. A wedding reception. Bond a guest.
The home recently sold for $5 million.
Tennessee Williams again. On this day in 1955, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof opened in New York City. An instantaneous hit. Won Williams his second Pulitzer Prize.
Jefferson Starship. An American rock band. The group has been around since 1974. Not all members the same. As time moved on, older performers dropped out to be replaced by new performers.
Jefferson Starship is performing at the Key West Theater sunday. On the saturday before at 3 pm, a free greet and meet is being held at the Gates Hotel. You must be a ticket holder to attend.
Spent my yesterday researching.
Visited Tammy at 6 for a manicure. Tammy her usual charming self. For a 34 year old, she is wise beyond her years. Has to be her Asian background.
Then to bocce. All of 10 minutes.
It suddenly got dark. A huge black cloud moved over us. Cell phone weather inquiries showed a huge green mass beginning to move over the lower keys.
At the same time, the wind blew up. Not a simple 20 mph. More! Much more! Dirt and sand swirling.
Everyone ran for their cars to get out.
Most of my group headed for Don’s Place. I decided to go straight home. I do not enjoy driving on US 1 when the rain is so heavy it is difficult to see.
Beat the rain home. Beat the rain in its entirety. The wind blew for a while. The rain never came. This morning, I looked outside to see if it had rained during the night. No. Everything dry.
Key West weather strange. Storms hit quickly. People are wise. They get inside quickly. Wind and rain not a pleasant sea shore combination.
Enjoy your day!
I had a thing for Grace Slick back in the day.
Louis, about that fast coming storm yesterday, I was at 2 Scoops ice cream place eating vanilla with walnuts. It’s next door to 5 Guys. What is interesting on a local level is that the owners – one named Jamal – are local and own both eateries according to the lovely high school aged ice cream scooper girl. There are 2 owners. They also own a baseball team, but the student worker did not know if minor, major or what league. I’d like Louis to meet them and find out how and why they opened these 2 eateries. Will you? The ice cream is delicious. There were no flavors with the word ‘conch’ in it. There should be IMO. How about ‘salty conch’? There is a flavor with salty in it. Why salt in ice cream?
Why salt in ice cream.
Never made ice cream huh. A chunk gets in once in awhile. nice.
