Double-Dippin' With The Mayor
Yes, I'm reachin' back into the archives and reposting what I was doing exactly one year ago today...I think it's adventure worth repeating 'cuz it's not often I get to rub shoulders with The Mayor!
****************************
This handsome gentleman is
The Mayor.
OK, well...not really. Actually, he's pretty much your Average Joe...but we've nicknamed him "The Mayor" because he seems to know EVERYONE in town (and visa versa)...just walking a few blocks down the street to go to dinner with him took us about 2 hours because we had to stop, chit-chat and hob-nob with every other person along the way! (I totally loved it.) Plus, he's quite charming...and took excellent care of me and my Chaperons whilst in Petaluma. He'd certainly get MY vote if he ran for Mayor. (And if bras could vote.)
He recently restored this old drinking fountain to working order but I found the following information very interesting...
This concrete drinking fountain was erected in 1891 by the Women's Christian Temperance Union – an organization dedicated to banning the sale and drinking of alcohol. The members were urged to erect drinking fountains in their towns so that men could get a drink of water without entering saloons and staying for stronger drinks.
*No wonder it stopped working YEARS ago!! 
Looking pretty good for being so old...
And it works like a charm!
And it works like a charm! Just ask The Mayor!
