Here is an example of what not to do:
Toting a propane tank around in your trunk is a bad idea. Not securing it is a second bad idea. Keep the links out of the chain of disaster by using your head. Okay?
Bon dia.
Safety (not) First!
New Meets Old in Aruba
I went for an early morning bike ride. Usually I roll around the northwest part of the island. This time I went south, parking at the entrance to the former Lago Colony then rode east around the edge of the island. Doubling back, I came across the entrance to the old Aruba Golf Club. In the background tower the new windmills. Take a look:
The photo above gives you an idea just how big those windmills are. At the same time, the Aruba Golf Club is looking rather sad. Time marches on is the old cliche.
Bon dia and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Bus di Salud, Aruba
One of the candidates running for the Aruba Parliament has sponsored a mobile health clinic. It’s built into an old VW bus and here’s a look at it:
Dig that groovy health bus, man. Anyway, the bus traveled around the island during the past month. At each stop, people were offered free services like blood pressure screenings, cholesterol checks, and advice on diabetes. This was a great idea, a good way to meet the people, and a very creative method of campaigning. My hat’s off to this guy. Here’s another look at the bus.
Given the big healthcare debate in the US, if I was running for office, I’d sponsor one or two of these things to drive around my district. The Aruba election is September 25, 2009. Good luck to everyone.
Bon dia.
Black Hog Saloon (no more)
Aruba’s Black Hog Saloon was a popular spot for drinks and hijinks. It burned down last night. Given that most of it was wood and the flames were fanned by a steady breeze, not much is left. Here are a few shots for the curious.
These Wild West fronts remain, sort of.
Well, so much for that. All gone now. But don’t worry. There are plenty of other places to enjoy a beverage and fun.
Bon dia.
