Almost Here!

In the Northern Hemisphere, the 2024 Summer season is now almost here! A return to the frolicking antics of natural freedom with the cooperation of both the season and the outdoor weather! A time of year that, for the most part, delights and thrills the majority of bare practitioners and others who appreciate being nature while basking in nakedness! In the SOS! posting entry published here on ReNude Pride previously, in the USA this upcoming weekend is a three-day holiday. A great number of persons consider this to be the unofficial start of the eagerly anticipated summer season, This expectation and the dream of sunshine and warm weather affords many the opportunity for an aquatic adventure, with or without a swimsuit!

This special time of the year is perceived by many as a time of “fun and games in the sun” even though the official beginning of Summer, 2024, is almost a full month away (21 June, 2024). For the majority of Northern Hemisphere residents, the month of May presents an extended period of temperature moderation and a sudden flux of the blossoming and blooming Spring growth season. The rising outdoor thermometers are accompanied by a noticeable decline in the amount of clothing required by the textile (garment wearing) population and the obvious growth of social nakedness among those of a less obsessed covering preference!

This Monday holiday happening is the USA Memorial Day holiday, a date established to observe and offer tribute to all of those who gave their lives in the airbourne, military and naval service of this country. Official recognition is paid by the President laying a floral wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, at the noon hour. The remainder of the day has become an unofficial celebration of the “arrival” of the summer with cookouts, neighborhood events, social gatherings and a growing exodus of the nation’s peoples in seeking the aquatic freedom (weather permitting)!

This has resulted in a growing conflict between those who demand a more respectful and solemn occasion of national homage to those who lost their lives and those more inclined to joyously welcome the rapid approach of the casual and relaxed seasonal atmosphere.

The obvious compromise is relatively simple to both sides of the conflict. This country should abandon the service aspect of this date and combine the memorial tribute with the historically accurate Armistice Day observance on 11 November, annually. This eliminates the disagreement between the “patriots” and the “casuals.” This would align the USA with the widespread global tradition of honouring those who were sacrificed in a more dignified tribute that is more readily accepted and understood.

Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday!

Naked hugs!
