December 2, 2006: Miami, Florida.

We met Janis, of Minneapolis fame, here while she was in town on business. We sat at the beach during the day and had cocktails on the famed Vegas-meets-Venice-Beach Ocean Blvd. in the evening. The table service here is comically poor. Suffice it to say that they don't do substitutions.

It was about 85 deg. and 90% humidity out, yet we saw this guy running (always either backwards or sideways - and barefooted) up and down the middle of Ocean Blvd. everyday. He was our favorite of the many showy people in the neighborhood.
