As you are aware, I have been sick. Last week in the hospital. This week recuperating at home. Last night, the first time I went out.

With assistance!

My good friends from Buffalo, Fran and Tom Dixon, came to Key West to spend Fantasy Fest with me. Good luck! I got sick! They did it while I lie home in bed recuperating. I was not unhappy. That is how things developed this year.

They kept pushing me to go out with them one evening. Tom came up with a workable solution. I still am not walking alone. Even with a cane. We would take the wheel chair. I would sit and they would drive.

I relented after much discussion/argument. Did not think I could handle it.

They picked me up, got me in the car six o’clock last night. The walk from my abode to the car was an effort. Big time. Tom had to handle/walk with me the whole way.

I ended up in the wheel chair in two different places on Duval. One on the street, the other on a curb. Both interesting. I was a star! Husbands and boy friends insisted their ladies take pics with me. Many did. Each one bare breasted. Nipples painted over. My head in their breasts. Photos cute. Two said they would be looking for me next year.

Did I enjoy? Absolutely!

After 2 hours, I was tired. There was work involved in what I was doing. Tom and Fran took me home at 9 at my request. Spoke with Fran this morning, they went back out till after midnight. Ninety they are not. Merely in their seventies.

All I can say is…..Oh, what a time I had!

Let me address Trump, Canada, Argentina, Venezuela and The East Wing of the White House briefly.

Trump does not think normally. How can he stop the U.S. from talking with Canada. Our next door neighbor and one of our best friends over the years. Trump gets a hair up his ass and reacts abruptly and without reason. I am confident the problem, whatever it may be, between our two Nations will swiftly be resolved.

What’s this thing that we are now going to import from Argentina 25 percent of the beef we consume? Our ranchers sufficiently supply us. Why affect our national production?

There is no question but that our initial obligation is to support our producers. Not foreign ones.

Then there is the prospect of war with Venezuela. Is Trump out of his mind?

The oil sanctions imposed on Russia. Again, is Trump seeking a war with someone? He is crazy if he is. I doubt Congress would support one. The American people definitely not. The last thing we want are bombs dropping on us by a country capable of doing so.

This East Wing thing is mentally screwing me up. Came upon us suddenly. Trump seeking money for himself for certain of the work or whatever? Not clear. Trump initially seeking $230 million. Now $300 million. The figure went up in one week.

Demolition appears complete.

The size keeps changing. From 650 to 999 to 1,350 feet. What is it to be? Lets lock in a dollar figure also. Can’t do major construction of a public facility on a cash as you go basis.

Where is Congressional oversight and Committee oversight? Trump should not be permitted to run this size construction of our Nation’s home as he is. No President for that matter.

Corruption in professional basketball. Seems like every 15 years or so there is wrongdoing in pro or college basketball. At least Trump is not involved here.

Florida Governor DeSantis pushing to remove invasive pythons from the Everglades. Good luck!  Florida’s removal effort too late. The State has tried before and failed. It will fail again. A million plus pythons involved. Too many to get rid off. Control the approach.

I am waiting for the Dixons to show up before they head to the airport. They are picking me up some groceries and four smoothies.

Enjoy your day! Enjoy the Fantasy Fest Parade this evening!
