Key West is a great town. It took about 6 months to get past the tourist stage, but once we got a bit established we were accepted by the locals and had a fantastic time there. I miss living there.

What does that get you? I loved going to the Keys when I lived in South Florida, but always felt like it was the journey that was the point rather than the arrival in Key West. Though I could see that if you penetrate past the tourist stuff there must be a really nice way of life available.

I would like to bike the Keys. I think that might be a great way to move through there.

For us it was mostly social. The locals were a very eclectic mix of people. People that made money and retired early, servers and bar workers that lived 8 to a house in old town, people that lived on boats in the bay. It seem that there were a lot of people that were just moving to Key West or had lived there a few years and were leaving. There was a lot of churn, especially in the service industry. It was very cosmopolitan, people from all over the world that had settled there for the laid back lifestyle. And it was very laid back and accepting. Of course the bar scene was central (married, two incomes, no kids). We got invited to parties at homes and things that were off the beaten path, bus trips to Miami to go to sporting events etc etc. Hell, one St Patricks day I poured pints of Guinness at Finnegan's Wake's block party. It was a great time.

I'm not sure that I would want to live there with kids, but for the time that I was there, it was one of the best places that I ever lived.

I'm sure there are better videos but saw this one and the beginning is good to show the wind impact.

Which is why nobody voted for her -- she has no opinions or code. Only policy positions she hopes people will like. The worst of scenarios have come to pass for Democrats -- they lost and learned absolutely nothing in the process about the kind of person voters want. I wonder if Bernie could force more change running outside the structure.

This clip has been widely spread in right-wing media to presumably show even Hillary is against DACA. That was when they still thought Trump wanted them all deported; it now seems pretty likely that the opposite is true

However, I believe she was also talking about children detained at the border, not the Dreamers who have been living in the US for a decade or more.

Judge Jeanine praises Trump cutting deals with Pelosi. Shocking. It's almost as if getting a deal done is more important to his media sycophants than the substance of the deal.

I see being a D or an R is more important than what is said... trump also is proving that point.

Or it's a completely different situation with different considerations.

It doesn't matter, Hillary Clinton lost.

These disasters seem to bring out a "Lord of the Flies" behavior set in some.

Weather service is warning people on Marco island and the Naples area that once the eye passes over them, there will be a storm surge of 10-15 feet.
