Cruisin'

on a Sunday afternoon.


 An old Rascals song came to mind last week while vacationing on the west coast of Florida.
We were lunching in St. Armand's Circle in Sarasota when a red Corvette pulled up to the traffic light.
As noted Corvettes are very popular with the seniors, must be that "hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet" mentality that permeates the west coast.  Retirees in this part of the country come down I75 from Michigan and stop once the weather gets warm, right around Sarasota. There must be a significant number of GM retirees.

The car was beautiful and was driven by a gentleman of a certain age, probably 65+. I watched as he went around the circle, then saw him again and again and each time he passed as as he drove away I could hear BeeGee tunes including Stayin' Alive, the national anthem of South Florida.
