St. Augustine, 2008

All you folks over 50, come to St. Augustine! Drink from Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth, rejuvenate and the Kids Town Trolley takes you back to your hotel/condo feeling decades younger.

We do it every year. Whether it's ironic or a placebo, it works for us.

Cheesy

Doesn't take too much rain to become part of the waterfront around these parts, and this house obviously pre-dates the current code requiring riverside houses to be built on stilts. One of those irresistible situations, at someone else's expense.

As I have accumulated many negatives over 60 years, my chances of finding multiple possibilities for many threads is fairly good. Hope I'm not out of line to post more than one, or two, or............

The sign above the man translates as: Dental Hygiene SMILE Body care. The name of the store is SMILE.  


Smile!
