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.

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

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

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

    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.

     Reality simply misleads us.

     They would need a time machine to accompany the camera.

    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.

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

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

     I wonder if church attire will ever get that informal?

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

     I suspect, even in Melaque, someone would notice.

    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.

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