Edo Luckily, there is 0 covid case in the Territory where I'm in now. There hasn't been one for the past 2 months until an isolated case cropped up a few days ago. Salties might be the biggest thread. We went bush camping two days ago. There was a lovely plunge pool there. We had a chat with the ranger who said swimming was alright but they can never vouch 100% for it being croc free. So hubby went in. I didn't, not because of the crocs but I'm not a water person. Next day, sure enough, a croc was spotted. Swimming closed until they catch it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rooney 4,004 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Gen, do they capture and relocate those big crocs or do they kill them? Edited July 9, 2020 by Ed Rooney Link to post Share on other sites

There would be an uproar if they killed them. No, they relocate them which is not easy as they are very territorial, they'd better not release them in another croc's territory or it would be a death sentence. They also relocate them to a croc farm if available. Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Rooney 4,004 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 That's green mayo, Michael. I don't know why it's green. Below is their meat version, called a Cuban mixto. It has various types of pork. Sadly, I've never been to Cuba. Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t been to Cuba either....closest I got is Little Havana in Miami. Actually the closest I got was Key West, Florida....just 90 miles away. Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rooney 4,004 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks for the mayo report, folks. I've been to Key West too, Michael. When I was in Montreal waiting for my Irish passport renewal, I almost went down to Cuba to wait. Alas, it was hurricane season and I didn't want anymore complications. I've had a drink in all the other Hemingway places. https://edostrange.blogspot.com/2020/05/at-harrys-bar.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Ventura 6,063 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Did you make it out to Bimini, Bahamas? I was fortunate to get a magazine shoot there once. He lived there as well. The great sport fishing drew him out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rooney 4,004 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Ah yes, Bimini. I've done shoots on a few islands in the stream, but I've never been to Bimini. Hemingway spent a lot of time on Bimini between 1935 and 1937, but he never really lived (settled) there. He was living with his family in Key West. If he was by himself on Bimini, he usually stayed at the Compleat Angler Hotel. When he had his wife and boys with him he rented or stayed with friends like Michael Lerner. It was a very important, pivotal place to him and I will have to add it to the spots I did not have a proper Papa beverage. This Hemingway story recently published in The New Yorker seems to be set in Bimini: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/06/08/pursuit-as-happiness Edo Link to post Share on other sites
