Did they put something in the water?

[ritaxis]

Santa Cruz appears to be overrun with friendly middle-aged men today. Got another greeting with the flirtatious edge to it, not as overt as the first. The fellow had brought his friend to get a pilot's medical exam at the same time as I had brought MC to get his SSI eligibility exam.

I'm not exactly complaining. It would be surly to complain that men were friendly as I passed them by.

But I'm not used to it.

I wish I could go back and tell my much younger self that they were going to stop insulting her one day and instead be friendlier than she expects . . .
