Yeah, I decided this morning to go and have breakfast “outside”!
I ordered a Greek Omelet with an order of bacon at Famous Toastery
nearby. While I sipped my tea I had time to read a couple of chapters
in a very funny 1904 published booklet “Stealthy Steve, the Six-Eyed
Sleuth" by Newton Newkirk.
Occasionally I looked up and noticed plenty of new customers joining
the breakfast crowd and suddenly it struck me how varied in shape
and form the human race appears. In these times with minimal clothing
very little is left to our imagination. Heavens, the well proportioned, the
good looking ones are few and far between. Very few and very far!
And I wonder, when dogs, hawks and porpoises observe others of their
kind, do they come to a similar conclusion?
Is that one of the reasons we decided, long ago to start covering our
bodies? Probably we should re-introduce that rule again!
