Ready To Wear?

Recently I saw a gal in her thirties
wearing jeans with carefully designed holes
and rips along the legs and just under the seat.
Her underwear was peeking through.
It looked as though she had tangled with a bull.

I can’t believe that a person would buy
“damaged” clothing--on purpose!
One pair of ripped jeans was $75 on a
department store sale rack.
They were badly faded and stringy.

A few years ago certain jean manufacturers
were buying back used jeans in any condition
for as much as $40 a pair.
I couldn't figure that one out.

In California I had enough problems
with moths eating holes in some of our shirts.
Too bad holey clothes weren’t a fashion trend
at the time.

Tom has a favorite shirt that he wears
almost constantly.
There’s a large hole near the label.
It's heart-shaped.
Maybe it’ll catch on.
He hates to go shopping…

On The Road Again...

I noticed a new pet shop the other day specializing

in exotic and unusual animals.

It wasn't too long ago that a Burmese Python exploded

from ingesting an alligator.

Within the Everglades National Park there is an

approximate python population of 30,000.

A few years ago, my daughter Jen was kayak fishing

in the 10,000 Islands, just southeast of Naples, FL.

She hooked into what she thought was a huge fish--until she

brought it up. Jen had snagged a Burmese Python.

It had a girth of at least 20". I can imagine its length!

She cut the line and let it drift off.

Pythons have been found inside of small airport hangars,

suddenly frightening whoever was inside.

Iguanas, purchased when small , are often released into

the wild when they get too big.

There is a growing iguana population in Southwest Florida.

Sanibel and Captiva have a few reptiles wandering around.

The 6' plus iguanas find their way into back yards.

Just recently, I happened to see a small iguana running

inside of our community.

He was headed for the Clubhouse.

I wondered who was was splashing in the pool after dark...
