Did a roof job for a cop in Louisiana one summer when I was 19.
At the end of every work day, he would bring out a cooler of beer for us to drink.
Then we drove home after working 10-12 hours in the heat and humidity.
He didn’t have a problem with it. I don’t know what to think about it, but I didn’t care at the time because I was 19.
I actually live in a city in East Tennessee that is very queer friendly, but have to admit to being shocked in Provincetown. I thought my better half’s father was going to have a coronary. It was a real hoot. Little foo foo dogs being led around my skinny little guys (I think) wearing short shorts. Absolutely normal behavior......
I fear you may have taken my statistical sociological observation the wrong way. The concepts of a good Key West Police Chief and a good citizen often go hand-in-hand.
Furthermore there is no question here of alcoholic consumption. The young fellow was obviously side-affected by over-the-counter medication and Skittles, followed by brake failure. Move along. Nothing to see here.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how Key West went so wrong. It was founded by people from Maine, you know. Except for state employees, there are practically no gay people in Maine. Except in winter.
‘Ah Key West... Where the women are women, and half the men are too.’
Where the men are men and the sheep are scared.

“Key West”..... Very queer things go on in Key West....
“It sounds like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”
Mighty little good, it seems.
But, this time the sex was not on the County time clock. Just to amuse and edify, the following actually did occur in the Conch Republic, AKA Florida Keys.
“they just appointed a new police cheif who was fired from the County Sheriff’s dept because he was caught having sex with an underage boy in a patrol car” from another thread about Key West’s antics.
Sex in a county car is an old, honored (at least in the breech) Monroe County tradition. A county biologist decided to carry on tradition while in a county car (he doesn’t have to clean it up afterwards) and the intercourse was on the county clock, of course.
However, he parked at a stop sign, just off the road. Then and there, the sex began. Shortly thereafter, a school bus full of little Conchs (Keys folks are citizens of the Conch Republic) stopped at the same sign. And on the same side of the road.
The bus nearly turned over as all the little Conchs moved over to that side of the school bus for a better view. “Little eyes are curious eyes”.
Blissfully, the record does not contain the comments of the audience. However, I can assure you, Gentle Readers, the biologist was male and his partner in crime was female. Note that things have degenerated since then.
Oh, what crime, sez Da Liberal? Well, lots of counts of forbidden behavior before lots and LOTS of children, not to mention a dog’s breakfast of other misdemeanors (some very demeaning, indeed) and some felonies.
The County Biologist resigned.
ON the other hand, until the onslaught of lawyers and AgencyPersons, the Keys was once a relaxed source of endless amusement. Now, it is a tax money sink and a breeding ground for queers and lawyers and ‘Crats.
BAH! HUMBUGGERY! !
KW is a quaint place.
On that note, last time I was there (200 mi South of me) a hot girl, wearing a bikini, was standing at a pay phone. After I passed, I heard a man talk.
It is what it is. Don’t go in the summer, it’s hot as #311.
Sleepover?
Did they order pizza, and have tickle flights and giggle long into the night?

Easy defense - he obeyed the police chief’s orders. Not guilty, false arrest. The arresting officer knew the chief had ordered him to drive while intoxicated, therefore the sobriety test was moot.
Ruling any other way creates a bit of a precedent problem...

Summary:
(Studio) Report on drug traffic on Key West
REPORTER: John Chancellor
(Key West, Florida) Fire chief, Joseph Farto, investigated for selling cocaine. His car impounded, as were cars of other suspects. Wrecker that towed vehicles also impounded. City attorney, Manuel James, son of police chief, accused of delivering or conspiracy to deliver cocaine. $25,000 bail each for James and 14 others set. 1 of 2 bail bondsmen out of town; other arrested in bust.
REPORTER: Fred Francis “
Was stationed there in the early seventies.
Remember one of the two patrol cars would park at the empty lot where people would smoke dope and watch the sunset.
It was like a frontier town back then.

Wouldn’t take much of a bloodhound to follow a bum fart-o.
What would cure Key West would be a series of hurricanes each one a week after the other. Donna, Andrew, 1935,1926, 1928, George, Katrina and last Camille!
That kind of cleansing would return the place to God’s Country.
Apologies to resident Freepers south of Homestead!
My last visit was to work there after Donna(1960).
I haven’t hung out there in 30 years and it was nothing but a big drunk-fest back then. Sounds like it’s still the same.
It remains a cultural void
