George

You will see by my photos that if you blinked, you'd miss this town. It is very "country granola" around here and the famous Foxy's Bar is still trying to be a happening place.
We like it. It's obviously a tourist trap but it encompasses a beach front (one sandy street) with a very calm, kind of hippie feel to it. Checking in here was "no worries" and we walked the "street" in 5 minutes tops! The only thing we have to decide is if we want to buy a "Foxy" T-shirt. While looking about, we ran into George and he was so entertaining, I really wished I had recorded his whole conversation with us. He spoke in rhymes and riddles. I hope to download a video of him (only the last part of his act). Steve and I found that "George" has been at Foxy's for 40 years... we think he is Foxy... anyone recognize him?
George:
It starts off by him ask'n if I know what kind of dog he has. I tell him it's a black lab.
He say's; "Most white folks make that mistake".
I say; "Well what kind of dog is he?" He says, "He's an Island Dog". You can tell by four characteristics.
I ask; "What are they?"
And he replies; "He's Black, he sits around on his ass all day, he begs for hand outs, and he don't know who his daddy is"...And the conversation goes on from there...
