TRUE CONVERSATION: OG boards. 7/15/20 9 am. A man, perhaps age 65, is pulling on some weights attached by a pulley to the railing. I strike up a conversation with him about preventive cardiology, but he wants to talk about girls streaming by in their summer clothes. I reluctantly respond to that change in subject.
He: (smiling) The views here are terrific.
Me: You mean the girls in their summer clothes?
He: (He laughs) Yes, definitely. It’s distracting. Especially those small bathing suites called “……..?”
Me: You mean thongs? (This morning there are none, but he has seen them before in the Grove.)
He: Yes. It’s quite a sight.
Me: Is that why you face the ocean when you work out?
He: No, I do that for peace of mind. It’s good for the heart.
He: But when I come here with my wife, I wear my sunglasses.
Me: So no one can see what you are looking at?
He: You got it….
Me: Do you think those women like to be looked at?
He: I do.
Me: I told him about the young woman who strolled past Days and the CMA World Headquarters in daylight walking her dog and wearing a thong with no coverup. Ice cream cones were melting onto shirt fronts.
I saw an opportunity for a BF photo and as I snapped the picture, she caught me and began to scream at me demanding that I delete the image. I didn’t have to defend that action, but I did promise to not post that picture.
He: Laughing. Well, time to get back to my workout.
