Conch Color greatly appreciates positive comments about the community you live in. Ifyou love your community and have something positive to say about it, email ooster@bellsouth.net.There are so many great Samaritans in the Keys and wonderful things happen every day. It’s time togive a voice to those who have great comments to say about the Keys.That Sequester Thing…..I think most American’sget it. To insure a continuousprosperous economy, its literallygoing to take the best of bothsides of the political aisle toreach a happy medium. Thatis that yes, we need to cut backon some spending, while at thesame time infusing the economywith enough funding to keep thecountry wheeling and dealing in asuccessful business climate.The European Parliamentdemonstrated that austerity isdoomed to failure as they failed torevive their weakest economies likeSpain, Italy, Ireland and Greeceby subjecting them to draconiancutbacks that basically just tankswhat was left of economies. Andthis appears to be the directionthat the right wing tea party crowdwants to take us. This crowdwants to cut all entitlements whichwould be a huge mistake. Andsince when did making the poor,get poorer, become a Christianideology?There are plenty of ways, totrim the national budget withoutkilling Medicare or Obamacarefor that matter. We are now outof both Iraq and Afghanistan, andwe spent two trillion dollars onthose wars. We have killed mostof Al Qaida’s leaders and primeoperatives. Isn’t it also time to endthe war on terror, if for nothingelse to bolster our economy.In the last ten years inresponse to 9/11, Americanintelligence agencies have built33 buildings, which togetherare the size of three Pentagons.Homeland Security now employsover 250,000 personnel. And thetruth is that terrorism has beenon the decline since 2007. Noone wants to say it, but we havepretty much won that war. Do weneed to stay vigilant? Of coursewe do, but we can also reduce thecost of such vigilance from that ofrunning a constant war.Watching how Americahas overspent on its war on terrorplus Iraq and Afghanistan, I alwayswondered was Bin Ladin shrewdenough to surmise that Americawould become so paranoid after9/11 that it could spend itself intooblivion in order to protect itself.There’ a good argument to bemade there.The bottom line is thatthere are a lot of cuts that canbe made without making socialprograms take a huge hit. Ifour top minds could somehowlearn to look for better answers,I think we can easily get there. Irecently watched an interview ofMukesh Ambani, who with a networth of 22 billion dollars is therichest man in India. He statedunequivocally that the future ofthe world’s economy may dependon America’s amazing ability tokeep its economy in the plus,as evidenced by today’s stockmarket. He seemed to have allthe confidence in the world inAmerican finances.All the top economistsseem to be banking on America,and are more worried about Chinaand Russia maintaining stableeconomies.Key West is having onehelluva season as we enter the year2013. Let’s hope it stays that way.TOM OOSTERHOUDTeditor&publisherconch color the florida keys 4 photographic chronicle

John Baker with the assistance of Rev. Deacon Peter Batty washed and kissed the feet of 12 parishioners,symbolic of the Apostles at the Last Supper.Left:In Roman Catholic Church , the ritual washing of feetis now associated with the Mass of theLord’s Supper, which celebrates in aspecial way the Last Suppe of Jesus,before which he washed the feet of histwelve apostles .Right:Evidence for the practice on this daygoes back at least to the latter half ofthe twelfth century, when “the popewashed the feet of twelve sub-deaconsafter his Mass and of thirteen poormen after his dinner.” There is somecontroversy, or at least variation inpractice, as to whether this ritual shouldproperly include laypeople, and, if so,whether women should be excluded. Ina notable break from tradition in this regard,Pope Francis washed thefeet of two women at his celebration ofmass on Maundy ThursdayLeft:The processionof theBlessedSacramentbeing adoredin front of theStatue of St.Joseph.Right:The basilicawas packedfor its EasterServices lastweek.Left:The KeyWestKnight ofColumbus.Right:EasterMass at theBasilica ofSt. Mary’s.conch color the florida keys 18 photographic chroicle

The Guru Corner:4 Tech Tips to Make Traveling Fun(or less painful)Some people love to travel whileothers dread the thoughts of crowdedplanes, screaming children, and TSA.Here are a few tips I’ve always used tomake traveling a little more enjoyable.One must-have gadget is a goodpair of noise canceling headphones.I own and swear by the Quiet Comfort3 headphones from Bose. At$350 they are not cheap, but if youwant a pair that you won’t have toreplace for ten years, these are them!Put these puppies on your ears andlisten to the world around you meltaway. As a less expensive alternativethe AKG K 490 NC headphones arenearly as good and can be rechargedvia USB.My second tip is to download agreat hypnosis session on your iPod.If you’ve ever had a hypnosis session,you know you come out feelingamazingly refreshed. I’m a big fanof a hypnotist by the name of DickSutphen who I first discovered almost10 years ago. Be sure to check him outon iTunes.My third tip is to get good seats forthe least amount of money possible.According to Kayak.com the besttime to book your trip is 21 days inadvance (34 for International flights).Flying on a Wednesday, Tuesday, orSaturday will save you a few additionalbucks.The easiest way to make a goodvacation turn sour is bad weather,resulting in calling the airline torebook. Download an amazing (andfree) app called Get Human. This appwill call the airline (or any company)on your behalf. When an agent picksup, the App calls your phone.David A.
