Took last week off for a Florida vacation, and came back with a lot of things worth blogging about. Let's start with people at the beach.
I was at a prominent Gulf coast beach for several days, and I'm sorry to report that for the most part, the people-watching wasn't pleasant. Oh sure, there are some young hardbodies out there. The problem is, for every 1 of them there were 10 overweight slobs who have no business wearing a swimming suit.
It was universal, too - men and women of all ages and colors (including the color of sunburned) were showing off their rolls like proud bakers. I even noticed a few who hit the 'beach sloth trifecta': Fat, sunburned, and smoking cigarettes.
To add injury to insult, most of these folks were crammed into swim suits that were too small. Probably fit them a couple of years and several dozen pounds ago, but not anymore. It was hideous, it really was.
I support the development of a new flag symbol at the beach, to go with the ones lifeguards fly for dangerous weather conditions. Something to warn beachgoers of a higher than normal population of unattractive people in ill-fitting swimwear.
