With the first hint of crisp, sunny locals’ summer in the air today, you could say that these RFH guys caught the bug — and soaked it and its sunny vibe right up!

And with that first hint of locals’ summer in the air, sometimes a student, or anyone else, just feels the urge to close the book on any back-to-school business and bug out, so to speak. That’s lounging language — sorta.

What better way to practice springing into that sunny, cool lounging mode than by resting on the back of a VW Bug and hoping what’s on the printed page sinks in through osmosis? Beaching it during the favorite locals’ time of the year is not an option until that bell rings. So, this was just one way of sticking to studies and sunning during a “free” at RFH … Ahem.

So, the Retro Pic of the Day honors that sort of moment in time from RFH in 1975 on a Monday that may have perked you up with that peering sun and this chillin’ look back.

Know these slackers? Who had the VW bug bug?

Happy sunshiney day!
