Keys photos to tide you over

So it's been crazy because I've been moving. But I was in the keys for an event a few weeks back and have a couple pics to share....



This guy is great. He is holding a one-winged, one-eyed, one-footed parrot (he looked at me like I was an idiot for exclaiming that the parrot was a pirate.) He works for the wildlife conservatory, and this is a great example of a true conch.




And what's a day in the sun without a turtle on a leash? Really

Another only in South Fla Story...

The Miami Herald crime blog is reporting this one and it's pretty good. It didn't happen in Miami but it's close enough! The composite sketch is fantastic too. And it's a great headline:

Cross dresser snags purse, loses "breast"

Port St. Lucie, home to the NY Mets Spring Training and cross dressing purse snatchers.

Too bad this didn't come out as well as I wanted it to in the Don Burrito parking lot yesterday, but if you can't read the message from moveon.org, it reads:

Defend America - Fire Republicans.

In the Political Spirit

I saw this pickup truck driving down Collins and saw the McCain sticker and thought, how typical.... But low and behold, when I got a bit closer, I saw the truth in its message and now see that not all pickups are the same:

Go Obama!
(subliminal message)

News Feed: Pot Bust

THIS is hilarious, though not entirely unexpected. If you have ever been to the Mall of the Americas, you aren't surprised either
