a few simple SoWal rules to live by......(for those who don't know)

1.Do not leave your things on the beach.(garbage,butts, or chairs)bring a plastic bag to put your butts in.
2.If you dig a hole in the beach please fill it in!!
3.Please be aware of vehichles on the beach. Yes, they are bigger than you.
4.Try not to tear up the beach.(let a little air out of tires,follow someone elses tracks, and dont try to drive your cadillac on the beach. it is a bad idea.
5.Dont drive drunk, call paradise taxi
6.It is impolite to drive 14 miles an hour on 30a with your blinker on.
7.When you are in seaside use crosswalks and wait for vehichles to stop.
again, remember they are bigger than you, and may not always see you.

will write more later......................... follow the rules & PLAY NICE!!!
please feel free to add more rules to this list.

17. stay out of the way of any large pickup truck, or any car with a ton of stickers. chances are they are a local and are sick of sharing the road with tourists.

" if it's tourist season, why can't we shoot em?"


.only suppose to be funny, dont be offended.

Well...there are a few scowlers out there. Here's a story.

There's a lady who most of us Seacresters have passed at one time or another, who has a ...certain kind of pet...she carries around on the beach. And she's infamous for being a bit of a curmudgeon, with her verbal threats and/or angry stares at all people who are walking their dogs on the beach. She tells everyone with dogs "don't you know you're breaking the law, dogs aren't allowed on this beach!". To which we always pleasantly reply "Yes ma'am, she is legal, we are Walton county homeowners and she is permitted." Angry stare ensues. Admittedly, one time she had a point, because Bailey slipped off leash and rushed her (wagging, as always.) But whenever people are in distant sight, we keep her on leash, and within the legal hours.

Funny thing is, the pet she carries around is most likely not permitted, (because there's probably no provision for that kind of pet). And I betcha dollars to donuts it poops. But it's OK, she's just part of the scene, like a crabby old aunt you kind of love anyway. And before long, she's gone and someone else passes, who misses their dog back home and is SO glad to meet Bailey. And they smile. The end.


:shock: Wowza! I am surprised we have missed her. Maybe that's a good thing. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled and happy face on just in case. 😀 Sounds like she needs to be "SoWal"ed!

18. Do not point and laugh at someone laying out. It really hurt my..uh...it can really
hurt their feelings.

19. If you are a werewolf...stay away from where Mrs. TripleB and Darlene are staying.
Too many "Siver Bullets" flying around
