Hello Key Biscayne!
You can probably already guess what we’ve got in here this week. If you haven’t gotten a call yet from a friend with the cobis it’s either because you lost all your friends after insisting on speaking about conspiracies all year, or they already died from it last year.
People waiting for a very special xmas present.
That said, hey, at least people don’t seem as worried about actual outcomes this time around. Nice thoughts won’t save your xmas party, but at least it’s a silver lining. 💫
Just some stats
Things are looking up There’s not much to say here that you don’t already know, but for completeness sake: as of writing Dade County was reporting 13% average positive rate for the past week, and the Key was at around ~10%. It’s not enough to panic, but just enough to mess with your plans. 📈
From the peanut gallery
On last week’s light show feature:
Thanks for the Christmas lights coverage! Our family always enjoys taking a bike ride to check out the lights. Hampton and Greenwood have a week to up their game to ditch the grinch stigma. Glad you showcased 395 Caribbean; you are right they never disappoint.

On being ahead of the curve:
How about this Covid surge! The woman who called from the Department of Health said her cases have been linked to Art Basel. I skipped it this year and still got it.
This was the line to get tested yesterday. 😳 Although most may be Covid scares I’m sure there are plenty who are doing it in order to travel.

On our new produce section:
Oddly finding a lot of vegies on the beach on the daily trash hunt.
-JD
Ed. note: Saw a small pumpkin rolling in the waves the other night. Better than styrofoam, I guess.
