Hello Key Biscayne!
Well, you guys got what you wanted: the key is so quiet that nothing happened this week. They shooed off all the kids and now there’s nothing to bitch about.
Finally found a subject worse than sunsets: birds from far away.
It does make this job easier, though, so there’s that.
The news section

Nothing all the way down.
More bay blues
The Rag has harped on about the need for access to the bay for residents, to no avail. Advocating here is about as effective as starting one of those online petitions. Still, a reader sent in this little tidbit about this crummy, yet available, access to the bay they and their friends had figured out, and so here’s a mention.
There's no treasure, only dashed dreams of the bay.
The spot was a little opening accessible from between the Crossbridge Church and St. Agnes field. These rats were trudging paddleboards and kayaks over 100m through the buggy bush just to be able to get on the water. The volume of people going through must’ve gotten too high because the church put up a fence blocking access.
It's a fence and a sign. Not sure what you expected.
Voyeur's vantage
Last week we mentioned the creepy camera set up at the beach, and the creepiest part is that the Rag has already set up a TV with it streaming beach footage 24/7. That’s good news for you, though, as you get these dumb pics to look at.
In motion it kind of looked like they were doing it in there.
"This rain's gonna pass." (Spoiler: it didn't)
From the peanut gallery
On the mixed up stories and rumors about that assault two weeks ago:
Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another you’d been messin’ around…🎶
