Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Cloudy and chilly this morning.  No shorts today.  Transferred the bikes to the truck and took them up to Big Pine Key to get them tuned up.  They’ve been on the back of the RV all summer.  Dropped them off and had lunch at the Galley Grill.  Back home and I sat outside for a while reading—in jeans and a hoodie sweatshirt.  Cleared off but only 71 today. A big controversy going on down here.  They’re killing all the Iguanas.  To me, they’re harmless herbivores that give this place an exotic feel.  To the locals they’re a pest that eats their plants.  I’ve only seen them eating grass.  We used to see a lot of them in the park, but have seen none so far this year.  Seems harsh to me, but what do I know?  What's next--the key deer?
