Fri, Jan 15, Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Another crappy day. We talked about going out for breakfast during a break in the rain, but it started pouring again with a lot of wind, so we nixed that idea. Had some lunch and watched two more episodes of “Shameless”. Decided we’d try the show again, so I bought the tickets on line for the 4:10 show and printed our ticket—so now we’re committed. Of course just as we were leaving for Key West the skies opened up again and it poured. Made a dash for the truck and we were on our way. Got there and had to park in the Publix lot. And it’s coming down in buckets. Made a dash for the theater through a flooded parking lot. Got soaking wet and I went through some deep water and my feet were soaked. I was actually squishing as I’m walking. At least we didn’t have to wait in line for tickets—just walked in to the ticket taker. The line at the concession stand was way long, so we just headed to the theater where Revenant was playing. They were having an electrical problem in this theater (of course) and there was no lights at all. Couldn’t see a thing. And the theater was packed. We groped our way to the very first row and plopped down. So now we’re in wet clothes and the theaters are always air conditioned to the max. It took about 20 minutes for them to fix the electrical problem, but finally the previews started and eventually the movie—which of course was about some mountain men and took place in the brutal winter in the Colorado mountains. But at least it took my mind off of how cold I was. A great movie though. Mid-70s today.
