Mike,

Despite mosquitos, high winds, rain squalls, opaque waters, cancelled tours, expensive menus, rampant alligators, poisonwood trees, sparse net connections and blistering sunshine, we had a great time in the Keys.

Ernest’s fingerprints were everywhere. As the photo shows, I left my own on top of his, on his battered Smith Corona.

My mother taught me to type on a Smith Corona and we did have a machine like the one pictured. I remember that monstrous carriage return.
