What Key West really hates....
They are everywhere, they are making big messes, they make all kinds of
noise, and Key West, Florida is so tired of them, they are actually spending money to control them. Are they cruise ship passengers? NO! They are chickens! The full story is at http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/7656433.htm. -- Tom Smith "The future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one!" |

Are they cruise ship passengers? NO! They are chickens! The full story is at http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/7656433.htm. Back in the old days Hippies and Homeless people used to catch 'em and eat 'em. This kept the population in check. But the town tourism office didn't like the image tourists were getting by seeing Hippies and Homeless. So they made them disappear. The island's cats seem to prefer small rodents and geckos. So now there's one too many cock-a-doodle-doo waking both resident and tourist at all hour of the day and night. So now there's a costly project to catch and truck the chickens to another part of Florida. It would be so much more simple to just bring back the Hippies and Homeless. They were a natural part of the island's ecology. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"

We were in Key West last week (on a cruise ship!) and the "homeless" were
sleeping on the pier in several areas. Cops all around with no attempt to shag them away. Maybe a ploy by residents to discourage cruise passengers from disembarking!

The Smathers and Mallory Homeless are mostly seafood eaters. I've
watched a Homeless guy who sleeps at Smathers cast a net off White Street pier. He was quite good at it and had himself some Sushi. Most who set up camp by water prefer fresh fish to chicken. -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
