What are you getting bent out of shape for? It seems you might not be
seeing all the messages that everyone else sees. Including this one,
there are 25.

Just a polite way to tell Sheriff John Henry that his own business needs
tendin' to!

I agree that 99% of the time, he's a complete pain in the ass*, but in
this case, he's simply pointing out that you have somehow missed the
entire substance of a simple interchange between you and I. I think you
should go have a couple of shots of your favorite whiskey and watch a bad
movie.

* Statistics available by request. Maybe.

We like rum up here... but I did bring up Google Earth and had the scale
legend inserted.
As best as I can calculate the closest point to Miami is North Bimini in
the Bahamas...which is approx 51 miles distance.

OK, but what is the origin of the name "Bimini"? Was it named after the boat
tops, or is it the other way around? And, what's a "Scotia"?

The island was named after the top. And "Scotia" is a bank.

Hope that helps.
