I mean the guy on the right of course.

This is another pic from our stay at Steinhatchee. We walked over to a nearby restaurant and sat at the bar to eat shrimp. Alas (but we knew), it wasn’t the in-season shrimp people along the gulf coast can sometimes get but the food was fine and sitting at the bar allows one to strike up temporary friendships with locals or at least the bartender. Of course that is also potentially dangereuse, especially if you are, well, if you are anybody, really. But it was all okay.

After dinner we were out in the lobby and there was this, uh, portrait. I went to the water closet and when I came back, the GG reported that a woman traversing the lobby had said, “We’ve got to get rid of that Trump.” Something like that. I had been guessing that in that neck of the woods there might be a lot of MAGAts (probably even MORE after all these years) so I was heartened to hear of a Florida woman saying something like that. I just wish I had been out of the water closet in time to high five her or wink or whatever. Did she have a southern accent? I dunno. Not everyone in Fla does.

I looked up pics of Steinhatchee today and they did get hit pretty hard. I do not know about deaths or injuries and pray in my own godless way for the folks who live in the Big Bend. Steinhatchee was a home for us if only for one night. That area of Florida is not as populous as many others so in terms of that, it may not have been as destructive a hurricane as some others. But I don’t wish hurricane destruction on anyone no matter who they are or where they live.

Here on the moominbeach it was frickin’ cold all day. The wind has been outta the NORTH all day. I had the propane stove on all day and I was dressed in a turtleneck sweater, polar fleece jacket, Smartwool socks, and Smartwool leggings. ALL DAY. It was okay. I was warm enough and I had a LOT of work to do.
