Some of you may have stumbled across Jack Mazur's blog, "Jack and his palm trees," coming to you from his bunker in Key West. Here he muses about life (and death) on this zany island sometimes called Key Weird. His stories often involve Joe Beans, a beer-swizzling bro who takes each day as it come. For your pleasure, we have collected the best of these tales into this volume, beginning with a soliloquy about the demise of local rooster known as Henry. From there, his ruminations range from murder, mayhem, and marijuana to fishing on bridges, canals, beaches, and sometimes on a boat. Oh yes -- and one about Willard, Henry's feathered grandson.
