MANY EXAMPLES OF TRADITIONAL GULF COAST ARCHITECTURE WHICH BOTH NAMAZU AND HIS CAJUN COUSIN JACK RECOMMEND MAY BE SEEN IN KEY WEST. 

 NAMAZU, Dean of the Namazu School of Climatology
 Namazu's pal the incomparable Vic Socotra is down on Key West now and brings all of our snow bound readers a taste of the tropics and an illustration of the type of architecture that the Great Catfish has been advocating in his dissertations on coastal building codes as part of the namazu School of Climatology. 

Greeting Bipeds!
 Cold enough for ya? Take a break and take a tour of sunny and warm Key West, Florida with my pal Vic. He has a great narrative and wonderful photography ( some legal and some probably not ) about the traditional coastal architecture of Key West. This is exactly the type of architecture that my cousin Jack and I are always encouraging on America's semi tropical coast. Unfortunately federal disaster recovery officials seem to demand rather unattractive, and prohibitively expensive substitutes than the high endurance, low construction costs styles used by the Gulf Coastal ancestors and recommended by Jack,  the cajun personification of the Gulf Coastal storm forces.
