I clicked on a tracking link from an email receipt and it opened a browser window. The information said that the product has been, well, “Delivered to:  Residence Door” were the exact words. I got up from my computer and looked outside. There it was. That’s pretty wild.

Maybe I should start walking. This is really scary. I was running very low and had to stop at this station. Ouch.

Day Three:

Well, after dodging some airspace around Miami and Ft. Lauderdale we flew VFR down the Keys as planned on Saturday and landed Key West not much after noon.

Was a real nice and smooth flight down the keys. Attached please find a quick snap I did as we flew an extended downwind leg for our traffic pattern at Key West International Airport. In this image you can see the entire length of the famous Duval Street and the Southernmost Point. (lower right of image)

Quite the ride. Quite the place.

See you soon.

peace,
-j.

Greetings.
Life in Cocoa Beach moves slow. Life along the locks moves at the speed of the changing tides. Before sunset the locks were cycled to let a small boat pass. The sun was also setting.
