State Fair

I posted this message yesterday but it did not appear.
Anyway, on Sunday I attended the California state fair for the first time in two years--cancelled due to COVID. I had been attending shirtless for years, as did multiple other men, but then security suddenly decided shirts were required. Infuriating! This time I cautiously removed my shirt near the end of my visit and got no backlash. An attendant even bid me a courteous farewell as I departed. Saw no other shirtless guys, btw.

That's the issue with security guards. Most of them think of themselves as real cops. Instead of keeping an eye on shop lifters or other types of criminal activities, they focus more on anyone who is barefoot or shirtless. But I'm glad you had a great time regardless of that policy.

Oh, P.S., I spent the day barefoot too. The hot asphalt felt wonderful. Only got one comment, "Where are your shoes?" Reply, "They're bad for your feet."
