model behavior


I see some of the darndest things on the beach in front of the house.


Melaque is a Mexican tourist town. Whatever tourists want can be found somewhere on the beach.


But Saturday was a first.


I looked out the window to see surfer dudes with boards. Not unusual. This is a great skim board beach.


But there were fit young women in revealing swimwear. Not a usual sight. The few girls on our beach usually wear a lot of clothing.


And then I saw why. Behind a bank of light reflectors stood two photographers.


It was a model shoot. Young men and women -- and sports equipment.


I never found out what the shoot was all about. But Jiggs tried.


The entire group is staying across the street from the house.


Jiggs, who had been sleeping all day on the shade, heard young voices and was more than willing to abandon old me for young them. He should become a corporate human resources officer.


As we walked by their house, he darted in the gate and started working the table where they were partying. He, of course, became the center of everyone's attention.


Now, there is no living with him. He now claims that he is dating a model.


But he is a 13-year old boy.
