Man started to wear clothing to keep warm. Maybe after that Garden of Eden thing it was done because of modesty. But we are born naked and lived that way for millenia. It’s perfectly natural. Some people throughout the world still walk around naked.

When it’s better than 90 degrees out, do we really need to get dressed? I have been experimenting with this. Don’t get me wrong, I follow social conventions and wear clothes out in public. But in the privacy of my own home or property I can and do go naked sometimes. It feels great to shed all of the accoutrements of everyday life and be free. Naked is more comfortable than dressed especially in the 90 degree heat.

I’ve been wearing bathing suits when I swim for all of my life. Until this happened, that is:

This past weekend was exceptionally hot at the lake. I wore the Italian dress which was quickly and adroitly removed by Rex upon our arrival at the cabin:
