Now that living through hurricanes are old hat, the season is about over. The link above is some stories on it, though I'm sure you've seen the news coverage. I guess that's the ironic part of all of it..we didn't see any of the news coverage. We are so lucky to have power and water and phones back at this point. Yes, there are fish in the swimming pool..., schools of them infact....yes, the yard looks like winter, all dead and brown from the salt water flooding everything. Our garage has a new smell....we've termed it "Mermaid Ass". Our house is on stilts, 'cause this is a common occurrence around here, but we still suffered damage, to things that aren't replaceable. Pictures, books, memories, but all in all, we're ok. Key West is a bit battered, and at one point, the aquarium downtown had some issues with sharks on the city streets ( again the flooding), but we're coming together, cleaning shit up, and even having a good time....
See? Ah the spirit of the island. Fantasy Fest has been post poned, but that doesn't stop the folks around here. That just means we're having 2 Fantasty Fests this year...Oh, and we're playing music during the one in December...kick ass. You'll not want to miss that show! The Toga Party is rescheduled, so we have lots of time to work on our costume....haha.
It's like an extra Halloween, which is listed as one of my favorite holidays, so it works out well for everyone!!
