With the evidence presented, why would the public not think we're an odd sort? I mean what else can you think when you see old men in shorts, long black socks and sandals, wandering up and down the beach waving a stick at the ground? I don't have a problem with the gawking ... and I sure can't control what some non-enlightened sort thinks of me. Just saying.![]()
LOL It takes a thick skin to do what we do.
There is a name for these people already! In the day they were called tourists! Requirements? Hawaiian print shirt colors bright enough to blind you. Pair of shorts the farthest you can get from color coordination you can get, down to the knees. High top black socks leaving only two inches of leg showing. A pair of brown wing tip shoes, polish optional. You could immediately pick out the more elite tourists because they sported the straw hat with a hula girl, tiny beer bottle, a plastic surfer & other un- recognizable objects. Their standard greeting was, (pointing at Catalina Island) "What island is that?" Our standard response was, "Oh, that's Hawaii! We stop there on the way to Japan to fish!". Whoops! Forgot! Left out the Red & yellow $1 dollar made in japan sun glasses that'd make you go blind in a heartbeat. That stick in the ground? Wasn't a detector! It was a cane sunk 3' in the sand. Ain't nothing new!With the evidence presented, why would the public not think we're an odd sort?
