So. they get out their tools, paints, brushes, and start in. It isn't long before a couple of cronies come by and then talk about the coming season fills the air. Sometimes the crony is pressed into service. By and by one or two will knock off for a cup of java and over steaming liquid, the conversation drifts around to the season's pros pects. All are predicting a good season, but they doubt that the tourists will be wildly throwing their money around. ?r ars % m- m.= r_i ? imr (Conti*w4 (*om 3) with a charily taw.
