Actually, I did notice that... But...Dear Bobskoot:<br /><br />Actually, I did notice that... But hoped you would take a laxative and let the feeling pass. You captured the pure essence and style of Key West Diary so accurately that the gentle reader is lulled into the local color -- just before getting slammed with a political statement aimed at politicians, the economy, or a decision by the local school board to trade oil wells for scungili stands. <br /><br />But since you are Canadian, you lack the facility for a vicious sarcastic attack. It wouldn't occur to you to describe a politician "as the people's choice for a self-inflicted kick in the balls."<br /><br />You may hve noticed that I am not burdened with this sense of consideration.<br /><br />When I switch to my version of Key West Diary, in a week or two, there will be no mercy. The sarcasm will be strewn like broken glass in a Jersey City playground.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack Riepe<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-66215005479314631782009-04-23T08:54:00.000-07:002009-04-23T08:54:00.000-07:00Geez, lash me hard why don't you.

I like the fact that you can easily go from one country to the next, taking in the best of varied terrains, and presumably, the cuisines of both countries. To me, fishing piers mean fresh fish, someting I cannot get enough of. <br /><br />I am not surprised that there is a sign on the pier forbiding the consumption of alcohol. There is always someone looking to screw up a little fun. There were two places on earth, however, where fishing was the most enjoyable for me. One is on the Outer Baks, up at Corova Beach, where I could put a sand chair in the water and drink a gin and bitter lemon while watching my line. The other was at Everest Lake on the AuSable River in Wilmington, NY. On the Outer Banks, I was fishing for Red Drum. In the Adirondacks, it was brown trout. <br /><br />As it was the summer in both places, I was drinking Gordons gin. <br /><br />Great pictures Bob! Nice commentary.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack Riepe<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.com
