I’m a 10 minute walk from arguably the best off-leash dog beach anywhere. From Juno Beach up to Jupiter.
It takes responsible owners and a commitment from volunteers and donors (for the poop bags, etc.) but it works. I’m at the beach a lot and I’ve never had a bad encounter w/ a dog or an owner.
I don’t even own a dog, but dogs shouldn’t be on leashes all the time. Dog Parks serve the same purpose as our beach - let them run a bit.
I change my own Mercedes oil and filter and don’t go near the drain plug. I have an extractor that hooks up to an air compressor that sucks all the old oil out of the dip stick holder.
Without that, I’d have to take the car in to be serviced as there’s a large shield that has to be removed to get at the oil plug.
Knoebels is free to park. Free to enter. Pay for the rides you or your kids want to ride and no more. Food is 1/3rd the price of Disney and twice as good as well.
Publix cashiers don’t sit. And if there’s no one at their checkout they stand out in front of it asking customers if they can help them find something.
Publix cashiers also own part of the company and can retire a millionaire after 20 or so years.
