putt-putting


This is a prose blog.  But, now and then, a photograph comes along that would be lessened with an essay.

I have only one comment.  One thing that Europeans earn points for.  They are self-confident enough to wear clothes like this in public.

More power to them.

My goodness. You are the eternal optimist.

Andean said...

Nothing wrong with self-confidence, the more the better.

Steve Cotton said...

 That's the spirit.  No one has ever charged me with a lack of that virtue.

Connie said...

Clothes - You call these clothes??

Andean said...

And so you wear speedos.

Mcotton said...

Are you sure it is self confience in the picture or is it "unable to face reality" 

tancho said...

Have some one snap a photo of you in your speedos......

Francisco said...

Self esteem maybe, a sense of modesty, zero.  The statue was much easier on the eyes.

 Not any more.  Not since I was in my 20s.  I seem to recall there is a photograph like that in the blog archives.

Steve Cotton said...

 Reality simply misleads us.

Steve Cotton said...

 They would need a time machine to accompany the camera.

 I thought it was an interesting grouping.

Steve Cotton said...

I guess in the same way politicians have policies. Just enough to cover the essentials.

I haven't commented until now because the idea of being trapped on a boat with boring people gives me the willies. But I may have to add to my "allergy" thAt I don' want to see sights like in this picture! Yikes!

There's nothing wrong with being old.  Few Americans that age could pull it off at all.

Where, despite still weighing what we weighed in high school, stopped wearing speedos years ago.

 I was impressed how much they were enjoying themselves.

Steve Cotton said...

When I return to Mexico, I may buy a pair for myself and terrorize the beach.

Steve Cotton said...

If this photo gets a Yikes!, wait until you see the buffet line. I will skip the meat -- especially for you.

Nancy said...

Made me laugh out loud!  Thanks...needed it.

Steve Cotton said...

 I wonder if church attire will ever get that informal?

Cineguy said...

If so--I can imagine only in Melaque.  Where it gets hot enough nobody should care what people are or possibly are not wearing! 

Steve Cotton said...

 I suspect, even in Melaque, someone would notice.

Tafreeburn said...

nothing wrong with being old is true-but must people in that shape show off their stuff? whther they are young or old, some people just shouldn't wear certain clothes.

 I guess I am old enough that I  have stopped worrying what people think about me.  Especially my clothes.  And I am certainly proving that on this cruise.

Steve Cotton said...

 Indeed it is.  My mother is never at a loss for the correct words.
