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

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.

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.
