Yesterday was the twenty eighth anniversary of the secession of the Florida Keys from the rest of the United States. Now although this was only a tongue in cheek secession in protest of U.S. Border Patrol road blocks on U. S. 1, the Republic state of mind really caught on and is thriving today. We even have our own Navy, Army, and Air Force! Now it is no secret that things can be a little different in the Keys, and I think that is just fine. In light of the current state of affairs in both Tallahassee, and in Washington, secession is getting a hard look once again during this years celebration of our prior attempt.
All this is in good fun, but I have to admit for a boy who was raised in the red dirt of the South, I love the feel of freedom it brings!
Old Chief Sends,
