Uhaul to the Keys!

UPDATE: As of now our trip has been postponed due to lack of infrastructure and communication in the Keys. I will be going down to the Keys as soon as I can to help my friends in need. For any information or follow up further please feel free to email me at TOR@TORsAdventures.com
Ok folks…  my friend Grace and I are driving a truck and a Uhaul from Charlotte, NC down to the keys with water and supplies. Grace is a manager at the Key West Butterfly Conservatory.  As some of you have seen on the news our Keys have been decimated.  At the moment, the thing that is needed most is water!  Water, Batteries and non-perishable foods.   We have been granted permission to go to mm 74 and we will wing it from there.   We are working with some organizations that are already there and in place and ready to accept items.  Grace’s husband and dog stayed home in Key West and are safe.  They are helping to assess the needs for Key West.  Email me if you would like to make a donation! Or just click on the super easy donate button. We want to fill this baby up! I know you have all probably just donated to Harvey and the telethon but you can see from the news coverage, the Keys are not getting the kind of attention they should be.  Your donation will make a huge difference to the people currently without power, water and other necessary supplies!  (toilet paper, feminine products, paper towels, hand sanitizer )   Think about what you would need if you had no water!  NO POWER.
 
Key West  is where I lived and called home for the past 4 years. These are my people, my friends, my family and they have a huge need. Hurricane Irma did massive amounts of destruction in the Keys and all over South Florida but the Keys were the worst hit.

 

Garden Harvest

I have been waiting to do a harvest in my garden since June! So far I have only gotten a TON of lettuce and some strawberries. I was so excited to go out to my garden today after working a long homestand and see that I had some ripe tomatoes, basil, squash and a carrot! My lunch was yummy! I had myself a caprese salad and the squash is going to be for dinner!

Revolution Pizza Music – RPM

As I was walking around Seattle today looking for a place to have lunch I stumbled upon this new pizza joint in Pioneer Square! It was great! From the superb service to the vintage music I was already impressed. I ordered 2 slices … how can you limit me to one choice? I got the margarita and pesto! Yes I said pesto! I didn’t ever think to put in on a pizza but now I sure will! Can we say YUM! I loved them but they were for sure different!

From what I understand they just opened last month and are still pretty new to the area. I can say that I will for sure be back! The pizza was delish, the service and atmosphere was what will keep me coming back!

More about them ….

RPM is a celebration of two great things, Pizza and Music. The music culture of Seattle is a special beast, a mixture of dark winter days, beautiful alpine vistas, the cold salty ocean and global influences create a sound you can’t find anywhere else. That “sound” has defined this region in the past and continues to do so today.

RPM was conceived by Harvey Ward Van Allen and Duffy De Armas to be a haven where local music, past and present, could be center stage in a neighborhood deeply rooted in the heritage of Seattle’s music scene. Good tunes paired with tasty slices and cold beer creates an instant classic, one that feels like it’s been here the whole time.

Harvey Ward Van Allen brought Casco Antiguo to Pioneer Square and now Tacoma, Duffy De Armas is one the owners of Electric Coffin and proprietor of the Piranha Shop event space.

“Our goal is to serve the best pizza in town, at an affordable price, available by the slice, and open late, as well as great pizza served up with the coldest beer in the neighborhood. We’ll have Salad and Wine too…

On top of great food and drinks, we will be supporting Seattle’s music culture through selling local records, hosting live music, and promoting bands through the restaurant.”
