🌴 HARD PASS

Today’s cartoon shows us a couple of travelers who have decided that this is about as hectic as their day is going to get. We see one woman comfortably stretched out in a hammock with her hands behind her head, while the other is kicking back with a good book and a cold drink. The sun is out, the water looks inviting, but they don’t plan on moving an inch. When this is your setup in Florida’s southernmost spot, there’s really only one way to describe a trip this perfect.

The cartoon’s mention of Florida’s southernmost destination pointed straight to KEY, leaving LOW instantly visible in the remaining letters. A quick Monday start that gets the week moving in the right direction.
