On the creek's east bank, he took off his shoes and shirt; clad in baggy
slacks and sheer socks, he stepped into the water where the channel was
narrowest and shallowest---five feet across, four inches deep.
He stood on a submerged flat stone, riddled with fossils. The water
was as perfectly limpid and translucent as his socks. I thought,
"Who cares what old prudes' and haters' prissy prejudices are?"
