Pajamas

Pajama bottoms in public - have you seen this?  It's enough to turn your stomach.  For the curmudgeon, it's enough to empty my stomach.

Heck, I was unsettled when sweat clothes began to appear in public places that had nothing to do with exercising.  All it takes is a trickle before the idiot floodgates open and we have once again lowered the "appropriate dress" bar.

History is clear on this.  For example, when my sainted wife and I honeymooned in Bermuda, we prepared for jackets and ties at dinner and golfing attire when we weren't at the beach - that was the appropriate Bermuda attire.  But one young buck showed up at dinner one night with just an open-necked shirt.  Did he slink out in embarrassment and return properly dressed?  Nooo.  And the next night other young idiots followed HIS lead.  A trickle of poor taste turned into a flood.

Such appears to be our fate - sweats are in restaurants already and soon, pajamas.  I fear what may be next.  Togas?  Just shoot me.
