It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a SKYDIVER!

I was driving down to Key West one especially gorgeous afternoon- sun roof open, shades on, singin’ along to my Howard Livingston & Mile Marker 24 cd (a local band here in the Keys)- when all of a sudden I saw this huge, colorful parachute floating down from the clear blue Florida Keys sky! I thought to myself, “If I were into skydiving (yikes!) I would definitely pick a day like today to take the plunge”. A friend of mine did actually come down here one spring to go skydiving after graduation from college. I remember being so nervous—and I wasn’t even jumping! But when he returned safely to land, he was so blown away by the magnificent view of the Keys from the air. He expressed his insane jealousy that I am fortunate enough to live here while other people only dream of it.

SKYDIVE Key West is located at the Sugarloaf Airport in (you guessed it!) Sugarloaf. Locals say that Sugarloaf was named after a now defunct Plantation that grew Sugarloaf pineapples. Sugarloaf Key is located just 17 miles from Key West and boasts a restaurant, motel, marina, a public airstrip and an auto repair shop plus the infamous Bat Tower. In 1929 a Mr. Perky erected a large 50 ft. tower, which he hoped would attract bats which in turn would eat the mosquitoes. The bats never came but the tower still stands. The northern part of the Key has a new elementary school and a church.

Howard Livingston & Mile Marker 24 have the top three best selling CDs at CD Baby under their Trop Rock genre. Visit their website at http://www.milemarker24.com/index.php to buy cds and for more information about the band.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends. There has been some unusual weather here in the Keys in the past week. Temperatures have been in the 60’s. I must admit that living in the Keys has made me quite a “cold wimp”. I’ve been bundling up in my sweatshirts and winter coats—for 60 degree weather! I know I shouldn’t complain, what with the northeastern United States getting slammed with snowstorms and for most of what people would call “winter” I’ve been in t-shirts and shorts.

Other than the temperature, though, we have had some gorgeous days. The skies have been clear and sunny, and the humidity low. And once in a while it’s nice to get the sweatshirts out, drink hot cocoa, and snuggle on the couch with a blanket and a good movie.
