Signs of the Times

Signs warning about sharks and no fishing allowed, posted by a marina with boats in the background.
Ok, sharks are here. Are the No Diving and No Fishing signs really necessary? One is enough to keep me away from the water!
Historic marker for Coca-Cola Bottling Court in Key West, detailing its history and significance.
A diverse history! It started as a hardware store in 1892, then became a bar, then made the Keys’ Coca-Colas, and now it is a rum distillery.
A window sign displaying '105 SIMONTON' and a circular logo that reads 'YOU DRINK IT FAST AMERICAN SMALL BATCH DISTILLING WE MAKE IT SLOW' with imagery of distillation equipment and an American flag background.
“You drink it fast, we make it slow.” Words to live by!

Happy New Year, all!!
