Yeah, I like the Keys. It’s a weird vibe there, but Marathon and Key West are worth keeping. Especially the turtle hospital in Marathon. You can see turtles get surgery! And until a couple years ago they had a turtle named Bubble Butt, for whom “Bubble Butt Syndrome” was named! Sadly Bubble Butt passed away in April of 2022.
Edit: Also, when my wife and I toured the hospital, they had a whole bunch of juvenile turtles who had been shocked by rapid temperature changes and then rescued and sent to a whole bunch of turtle hospitals around the world for rehabilitation. This rehabilitation essentially consisted of slowly changing the temperature of the water they were in until it matched the temperature outside so they could be released.
Since they had a lot of these, they didn’t bother to name them but instead numbered them. One of them was numbered “404,” and the tour guide was thrilled when my wife said, “I couldn’t find the turtle in this tub.” She (the tour guide) said she had made that joke a few times but no one had gotten it. 😂
No, no. Let’s keep the land. Just kick out the morons.
