From the "OK, what is up with so many naked-people stories this week!?" files and Yahoo! News

Sudiegirl sez: I really am wondering if the heat waves all over the place have anything to do with this recent rash of nudie stories. I mean come on...did you ever notice that most of the people that call themselves "nudists" have bodies nobody wants to see except themselves? And this guy is swimming in the buff by windows of a restaurant where people are EATING!!!! When will this insantity end? With a cold snap? Read on...

Au Naturel Swimmer Shocks Calif. Diners
By The Associated Press 30 minutes ago

SAUSALITO, Calif. - A man swimming in the buff along the shoreline is causing a stir where tourists stroll along the waterfront and dine in restaurants overlooking San Francisco Bay. (I personally thought Californians in that part of the state had seen it all, but I guess not, eh kids?)
The skinny-dipper has shocked diners and prompted complaints to police. (Not to mention turned a stomach or two...)

"He makes fly-bys," City Manager Dana Whitson said. "Usually, people look for seals. Some of the diners are kind of surprised." (I wonder how many diners have quipped, "That's the ugliest seal I've ever seen!")

Sausalito police Detective William Fraass said the department has received at least two reports in the past three weeks of a man swimming au naturel in the afternoon near the Spinnaker restaurant and Schoonmaker Point Marina. (Maybe more people would have reported, but they just couldn't stop laughing.)
"It is a rarity. It is just another call for service but it made our eyebrows go up when we heard the call over the radio," Fraass said. "We don't get many naked-people-swimming-in-the-bay calls." (In California? Are you kidding?)

Police have unsuccessfully attempted to catch the swimmer bare-bottomed. (Have you tried a net?)

"We are still looking because we want to talk to him and see what is going on," Fraass said. "We want to inform him of the calls from the public and get his side of the story. Right now, no laws have been broken, but we are still investigating." (OK, what would his side of the story be, for crying out loud? You either know you're naked or you don't. "I'm NAKED? Oh my GOD!" There is no side! He's got no clothes on. You either snap the cuffs on him or take him to a nice quiet place where they can up the dose. End of discussion.)
Sudiegirl's final words?
Hope the man's wearing sunblock.
