I always wonder why people take bad advice. Maybe it is because it’s all that is out there. Maybe it is because they don’t know any better. Maybe it is because the advice-givers are really adamant about their advice. On the other hand, there is a whole world of good advice out there, especially in cyberspace. The trick is deciphering it.

People in Key West love to complain. “Too many tourists”, “Not enough tourists to make a living”, “Too many cruise ships”. I could go on and on.
