57. There are times & places where it's just respectful to take a bit of care with your dress & appearance

Dec 2024

but I guess that's last century thinking.

I went to a wedding where two guests came dressed in their biking shorts & shoes, & all hot & sweaty cuz they'd just done a 100-mile bike ride & didn't have time to stop at home first. They couldn't have gone for a 50-mile ride? I felt sorry for the people they squeezed in beside. My friend who goes to church said same thing happens in the summer, people come in sweaty from running or riding & just plop down next to you. She said in the spring, two hikers came in, their boots & bottoms of their pants caked in mud & one flaked it off during the sermon & left a mess on the church floor. SMDH
