I am CuTRis

Don't Touch the Poisonwood! UnAssociated Press March 9, 2024 When CuTRis went to southern Florida, his friends warned him not to get eaten by an alligator! But when he saw one, it was just lying still, so he got closer. It was poor planning. He also ran across other giant sea monsters! But he got away before being eaten... But then, he encountered the Poisonwood ! Nobody warned him about that! He would have to improvise... CuTRis was last seen swimming with a Sailfish, trying to wash off the poisonwood-tree resin. At least that's what the dumpster birds told the UAP.

March 7, 2024 - Today was about getting home. We made it through the gauntlet. 2+ hours of driving from Marathon to Miami International Airport. 6-lane freeways, traffic, huge airport, checked bag on opposite end as gate and of course, the security check. We bought overpriced pizza and then had a 45-minute wait for boarding.

March 6, 2024 - We drove to Islamorada and went wading in the Atlantic at Anna's Beach. We had lunch outside at Wahoo's, and we saw so many birds today! Pelicans, kites, gulls, lizards, crabs! We took photos with Betsy the giant lobster statue. We did some shopping and I visited the Islamorada Brewery and Distillary. We went kayaking, but I didn't go long, as the kayaks were the most uncomfortable, I've ever used. the "launch" was challenging too, as it was steep and rocky.

March 5, 2024 - We went to Key West and ate at the Stoned Crab. Key West was so busy, that it was hard to see things. There were lines, and no open parking spaces. We went to Blue Hole, in Big Pine Key, and saw a mini Key Deer, an alligator and some tarpon... basically, Blue Hole is man-made, is salt water below, and freshwater above. It contains tarpon from the Atlantic, and alligators, which live in freshwater. We also saw non-native iguanas, lots of birds, fish, lizards...

March 4, 2024 - This morning I bought food at Publix, and made breakfast in the houseboat. Then we drove about 2.5 hours, through agricultural land to Cooperstown Airboat Tours. We took a 40 minute tour through the Everglades. We saw 5 alligators. We saw lots of birds and fish, a turtle and lizards... We ate at the Cracked Conch in Marathon. I bought some wine, and T-shirts today.

March 3, 2024 - We live on a houseboat. It was quite a downpour we drove through to get here.
