Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for August 16, 2009

When beaches are no longer fun.

Besides, by the time you get all set up, ten minutes will have already passed.

Anything free is worth what You pay for it.

No wonder no one’s there Ziggy.

At least he’ll have the beach all to himself.

Where do you put the money or credit card?

I’m thinking big, bully, beach bouncers.

just leave your credit card with the lifeguard

Beaches were never free, since there are parking fees, food concessions, rentals of all sorts, along with rides, & other attractions that drain wallets almost as fast as paying taxes, gas, food, rent, etc.

Free lunch. Eat all the sand which’s there.

Nothing is free, they’ll find a way to make you pay.

Going to “the beach” was free when I was a kid, but that’s because we had a farm beside a river that had some nice sandbars that we would call the beach.

jml58, i respectfully disagree. check out nature in all its glory. you can find beauty almost anywhere, provided you are willing to look. the picture i’m using for my avatar was a view at the side of the road i was driving that cost me nothing to look at and enjoy. (i did have to pay for the camera, film and developing to get me the picture to help preserve and share the memory, but that’s a separate thing from enjoying the view.)

Hey, Obama has to pay for his health care package some way……..

There are several decent beaches … or were decent … in Ontario. Most with in an hour of my old hometown … then they started charging for parking, and putting in concessions etc …
