I apologize for the hiatus but I've had a lot going on lately. I went on a tropical vacation, quit one job and started a new one. Hopefully I'll get back on track.
Frankie and I took a trip last year during which we visited a botanical garden. We saw this sign while there. Click the picture to enbiggen.
"Stay OFF the Pools". Off, it says. If that word wasn't in all caps I might just let it slide. But it says "off" and not "out of". I assume the author of this sign is wanting visitors to not climb on the stone walls. But that would have been easy to say: "Stay off walls". Maybe it does mean to keep out of the water but that "OFF" really is pretty emphatic about what it wants. So I am left with understanding that they to not want visitors to treat their pools like the Sea of Galilee.
