I am in the water in the general area of the picnic quite often with
friends.
Always a wonderful time, but I will tell you that a few weeks ago, I
encountered fish that Bite! not nibble - actual blood was involved.
I am sure we will be active enough to send the fish to the other side of the
lake, but it is your call how many and what extremities you expose!

Subject: [internetworkers] what's the skinny?


        The question has arisen about the possibility of clothing-optional
swimming in Jordan Lake at the picnic this Sunday.  (Note the tactful
and obfuscatory use of passive voice.)  I don't know why anyone would
ask such a question of *me*, but it certainly is an interesting one.
How about skinny-dipping in the lake?

        My humble opinion, which counts no more than that of anyone else
present, is that the authorities would probably frown upon
clothing-optional swimming in the "designated" swimming areas.  As for
other-than-designated swimming areas, we still have to consider the fact
that some folks will be bringing their children.  So perhaps, when it
comes to clothing-optional swimming, it might be best to preserve both
options.  Bring a swimsuit.  (And a towel and sunblock for that
matter.)

        That being said, if some folks are still hanging out around dusk and 
an
out-of-the-way non-designated bathing area is found . . .
