Taylor's Mom spent a Saturday in August 2023 shopping on Siesta Key. She had read that Pee Qee Herman spent his Middle School and High School years growing up on Siesta Key, on the west side of Midnight Pass Blvd, facing Sarasota Bay and the City of Sarasota. Taylor's Mom was in love with the Gulf Coast, the Sun Coast, the whole area she had spent in her whole life. For all these years, she had been sharing it with such a .... unique .... talent. Not quite an A-list celebrity, but a timeless talent; confirmed by all the recognition he received upon his death in July 2023.
He could have lived anywhere in the world, just about. He chose the Suncoast. That said something.
Midnight Pass Blvd. Another 1990s north-south running cruising road, where packs of girls would drive, looking for trouble.
Looking for catfights. And sometimes finding them.
Taylor's Mom had a catfight there one night with an anonymous Puerto Rican or Cuban girl. One Saturday night, after dinner at a restaurant, where the Puerto Rican or Cuban girl was hosting, and Taylor's Mom gave her attitude, and asked her what time she got off work.
Taylor's Mom had never had her hair pulled so hard. She never fought another Puerto Rican or Cuban girl again.
Not worth it.
Taylor's Mom still loved everything about Midnight Pass Blvd, though.
And about catfighting.
