A sign can be an object, quality, or event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else.
Loaded with irony, a sign can also be a source of amusement or distress.
Signs of disconcerting hilarity are abundant in the swamp, and in the beauty salons.

Considering the inclement times it is a comfort to know the avocados are doing just fine.
The great south Florida avocado may be second best to the Hawaiian Hass but at the end of the season the comparison is apples and apples. Our sub-tropic variety is abundant, affluent and plenty oily.

Soon it will be once again time to choose. Choose to go forward not back or choose to go nowhere fast. Good that people like what they are used to. It's the incumbents advantage. Safe to say Miami is tacitly Obama country.

What do Hurricane Isaac and Republican National Convention in Tampa have in common?
They are both amusing, annoying and costly disruptions.
The biblical Isaac was born only son of legends Abraham and Sarah. Though his parents were beyond childbearing years Mr. Patriarch lived 180 years. People lasted longer than needed back then.

Why are there few tributes or monuments in Surfside or Miami Beach honoring past political leaders? Perhaps it is because they are seldom worth the attention once done "serving" the public.
This resort town paradise is an island of mischief in an ocean of misgivings. We don't call it swamp for nothing.

Miami is so like a gargantuan crock-pot... we actually build monuments to this notion. You put all the ingredients in the porcelain before leaving home by 8 AM so that dinner is ready by six when you return.
But 305 is not immune to the tenacity of our times, as this PSA on a metro transit bus suggests.

In this final installment of adventures in NYC, we examine familiar themes such as the cracked concrete of endless roadwork, the new urbanization of places and why Miami does not have a Central Park.
Not all crack is wack. Twenty five years ago Keith Haring painted this mural with a simple message that saved many lives but sadly not Gary Webb.

Apartment hunting in NYC is a harrowing misadventure. Thanks in no small part to the collapse of the world economy at the hands of criminal banksters, realestating in the rotten apple is not the least bit swampy.
