L A N D S L ID E BUSINESS
One o f our many visito rs from
inland was recently out to H a rris
Beach to collect a ja r of w ater
fro m the P acific to take home
w ith him. The tide was in at the
tim e and an Old T im e r was s ittin g
near by so the young man asked
i f there was any charge fo r the
w ater. The Old T im e r mumbled
"Ten cents". The young man paid
up and collected his water.
The next day, at low tide, the
young man returned w ith a friend
who also wished to purchase some
w ater. They found the Old T im e r
absent fro m his post and then
they observed the depth o f the
w ater. "W h y the old man must
have done a landslide business!!:”
if we w ould te ll them about it,
take tim e out to take them out to
see it, o r encourage them to ex
plore it themselves.
