I generally do not react quickly to people who call me fat, but I would have been tempted to say right back at you dude just to see what reaction he had. Not saying I would have been proud of my reaction but it would have felt good for a moment.🤣

Of course he's a middle aged white guy like me. We're angry for no reason and generally awful. He's a miserable person and trying to make the rest of us miserable too.

In no particular order: A) audible gasp when I reached Mr. You-Should-Be-Ashamed's comment. B) Also, note to us all, let's not mention too loudly that there are no weapons in those TX waters...yet. C) I want an IT IS FREE sign that I can fill in from day to day as a reminder of what is available to me in large, ghastly sans serif type. D) Lily-liver for me is the icy swim, not the icy road. As always, bathing cap tipped in your direction.

“It jumped, then went about its business in the foliage.” 😋

This is the kind of sentence that will get me pining for another collection of your short stories. 😊

Love your descriptions of your brave, early-morning swims. I could not do it. The guy who thought it was his right to speak to you rudely makes me mad. I'm sorry you had an encounter with such a shallow dunderhead. I'm afraid I do wish him ill. As little kids say, at least you don't have to be him. Enjoy your swims. Thank you for sharing them with us. 🩵
