Life & Island Times: NY 2022

Forsyth Park We circumnavigated Forsyth Park today, happy to see all the locals, tourists and their pets enjoying the mid 70s sunny slow day in Savannah.

Life & Island Times: Presents

Hopefully we all got presents this year. Well, except for those who got new tattoos instead. Especially prison tats.
