OK,, I may have come across a little HOT, no excuses,, a senior SA monent..
I did not intend to.. After reading your comments, I may have erred, but I still think those serving should get perks,, and the rest of us can pick up the diference..
I was up at 5am and getting pumped to handle the touristas.
I've been at the dive shop 10 hr @ day, this week, we just finished our annual Mini-Lobster Season. If you never partook,, we invite 40k-50k touristas down to see if they can strip the Oceans of ALL Lobster in 2 days or less..
The Monroe County legal limit is 6 per person w/valid license,, of course that only counts if your caught,, most feel that 6x365.25/2 is their god-given annual quota...
Our LEO's do a fantastic job, considering they are stretched out over some 1000 sq miles of water. They had three(3) extra sniffer dogs to spot lobster stashes in cars & boats,, but the arrest to conviction ratio is low,, me thinks the judges like lobster more than donuts...
The only up-side is the Mini season preforms a gene pool clean-up of sorts. I think we lost 3 this week, 2 still missing, county fridge is almost full, looks like we might hit a new record tag & bag year..
Do I sound like a FOG out-of-sorts???
Your probably right...
Today I slept in until 6am,, hopefully this will be a quiet week-end..
