Nude Dude

I'm getting some flack from my friends in Seattle because my little towns is, again, in the news for having random naked people roaming about.

Last year we made the national news because of the fracas over the naked lady with a conch and now we've got an old dude getting his daily exercise by cruising through town naked and making children burst out in tears. It was my first time seeing a very old man in the nude and I must say, gravity wreaks shocking havoc on some parts of the anatomy.

Both skin lovers moved here from California, natch. Viva the lax nudity laws of Oregon!

I so feel for the little girl who freaked out! What a jerk, and why do those things happen there? I'm just glad it wasn't Juliet!

Oh, Juliet saw him! There were no tears but a lot of gawking...

Is it weird that I'm completely shocked there aren't any nudity laws in Oregon? In my hometown the guy would have been locked up immediately...of course that's what I get living in the Bible Belt. Oregon sounds like an exciting place ;)

Ashland must be a vortex for nudists. Sunset magazine neglected to mention that nugget in their "Best Places to Retire" piece. Now we know the truth!

Does he carry a towel around with him? You know, in case he SITS somewhere???

Gross, SF! I didn't even think about that...

Oh yeah. Sorry! Have you read Naked by David Sedaris? He goes to a nudist colony and when he books his trip, they keep telling him to bring towels . . . lots and lots of towels . . .

I always wondered why you moved back to Ashland...mystery solved.

Anna Claire - Oregon is not that exciting. Except for a couple of skin lovers it's pretty tame out here.

SF - I absolutely LOVED Naked. I think it's my fave of his books. Dude was not carrying a towel, just his t-shirt. When I saw that I thought wow, it could get creepier - seeing an old guy in a shirt with no pants seems almost more vulgar than the full body shot.

Kim - Ha! Right. When you see me in person you will know that I could never be a nudist. Children would run screaming and men would avert their eyes...
