APRIL FOOL’S DAY ~
This Coconut Head was in a window at Daytona Beach…kept looking at me as Rigs and I passed by him.. LOLLLL
Look out for those pratical jokes that might be played on you today….. ~
Wikipedia-
April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day, although not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrated in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on fool’s errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon: like UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool". Elsewhere, such as in Ireland, France, and the USA, the jokes last all day.
The origin of April Fools’ Day is obscure. One likely theory is that the modern holiday was first celebrated soon after the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar; the term referred to someone still adhering to the Julian Calendar, which it replaced. In many pre-Christian cultures May Day (May 1) was celebrated as the first day of summer, and signalled the start of the spring planting season. An April Fool was someone who did this prematurely. Another origin is that April 1 was counted the first day of the year in France. When King Charles IX changed that to January 1, some people stayed with April 1. Those who did were called "April Fools" and were taunted by their neighbors. In the eighteenth century the festival was often posited as going back to the times of Noah. An English newspaper article published on April 13th, 1789 said that the day had its origins when he sent the raven off too early, before the waters had receded. He did this on the first day of the Hebrew month that corresponds with April. A possible reference to April Fools’ Day can be seen in the Canterbury Tales (ca 1400) in the Nun’s Priest’s tale, a tale of two fools: Chanticleer and the fox, which took place on March 32nd.

Adirondack Chairs at Daytona Beach that Rigs & I saw while walking around~
Adirondack Chair History
by Clarks Outdoor Chairs
The chair is named after the northeastern New York State Adirondack Mountains. The area is 6.1 million acres of preserved rugged mountain forest park land that receives hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. But the name is all that connects the Adirondack chair to this mountain region, according to the Adirondack Museum in New York state, because they say the exact birth place of the Adirondack chair is still a mystery. “The immaculate conception" is how Craig Gilborn former director of the Adirondack museum describes the chair’s inception. "It just adds to their allure," he says. Still many feel the Adirondack chair may have evolved from the older Westport Adirondack chair which somewhat resembles the more common Adirondack chair, but has certifiable Adirondack roots. The main difference between the two chairs is the Westport chair is constructed with large wide boards while the more traditional Adirondack chair is constructed with smaller board slats. When you consider the two features that are considered hallmarks of a true Adirondack chair; the raked slanted back and the large broad armrests and the fact that the Westport chair has a slanted back and wide broad armrests then it is easy to see why the older Westport chair could very well have been the original Adirondack chair. One thing is for sure, regardless of the uncertain Adirondack chair history it has become an American icon that is seen across the entire United States.
The documented Westport chair story begins in the year 1903. A man named Thomas Lee, while on vacation with family and friends at his summer cottage in Westport, N.Y., a small village about 10 miles east of the Adirondack mountains on the shores of Lake Champlain, began to work out a design for some outdoor chairs for them to use. The chair Mr. Lee designed and built had a slanted seat and back design, something that had already been in use for the unleveled Adirondack mountain ground. The slanted chairs allowed people to sit in an upright position when placed on a steep hill. This made it possible to sit comfortably looking down the mountains because no one wanted to sit looking up the mountains. Undoubtedly, there were many variations of hill sitting chairs around the area, but the one Lee designed is the chair in the record books. Mr. Lee had no idea that his chair family members called "Uncle Tom’s chair" would be anything more than some comfortable chairs for his summer home.
The Westport chair may have never been documented if Mr. Lee had not offered his chair design to his hunting friend Harry Bunnell. The reason Mr. Lee did this was to help Harry make some money. Turns out Harry was broke and feared he would not make it through the winter. Trying to be helpful Lee suggested he take his chair design and build it at his home carpentry shop to sell to the locals. But as it turned out, Mr. Bunnell had more in mind and saw the chair Lee designed as a way he could make a future living. After doing some planning, Bunnell took the chair design and filed for a patent on April 4, 1904. Later, on July 18, 1905, Bunnell received his patent for the chair he called the "Westport Chair". Sadly, he never told his helpful friend Thomas Lee anything about applying for a patent nor did Mr. Lee try to do anything later after he learned he received one. Nevertheless, Bunnell became successful manufacturing and selling the chair for the next twenty five years. He built all his Westport chairs with Hemlock or Basswood, stamped them on the backrest with his U.S. patent number, painted them a dark red brown or left them unpainted and introduced several different variations (improvements you could say) over the years. His choice of Hemlock wood might seem odd because it is not a naturally durable wood nor is it considered a very suitable wood for furniture, but it was and is still readily available in the New England States area. The chair never became wide spread as it never reached distribution further than a 100 square mile radius of Westport, New York. Even today, it still does not have the wide acceptance of the Adirondack chair, yet an original antique "Westport chair" that meets certain conditions can be valued at more than one thousand dollars.
Where did the Chattahoochee Adirondack chair come from? The Chattahoochee Adirondack design came about when a Georgia carpenter named Dave Vidic decided to build a southern version of the Adirondack chair. He made his chair look similar, but I am guessing he did not see the need to sit on a mountain hillside in the south. Therefore, he made the chair sit in a more upright position with four normal straight legs rather than the long sloping back legs. For this reason we call our four straight legged Adirondack chairs "Chattahoochee style Adirondack chairs".
Today, the Adirondack chair has evolved and can have any number of differences, such as seats and backs with any number of slats, contoured seats and backs, straight seats and backs, fancy curves here and there, built out of just about any wood you can think of, different size and number of legs and some differences I probably do not even know. However, there are still two main distinguishing characteristics of the "Westport" chair Mr. Bunnell made over 100 years ago that are considered hallmarks of a true Adirondack chair. They are the raked slanted back and the large broad armrests. Undoubtedly, the Adirondack chair has changed over the years, but for many it remains the truly all American chair that has come to symbolize easy summertime living.

I love the lovely range of colors in these chairs.
The photo is great and the atmosphere looks so much better that cold dreary Indiana in January.
Hit the beach and go swimming, para-sailing, surfing, jet-skiing, or ride on a jet boat. All are great fun. You can also kayak, take a manatee tour, and visit Marineland. Have fun and happy birthday!
