Fishing

Hi everybody,
This morning me and my fishing buddy went fishing it was a every cold morning it was 28 degrees Fahrenheit. And yes I was barefoot the whole time and their was a think layer of ice on some of the water . But we found a opening where there was no ice so we throw our lines in the water and in no time the fish were biting and we started hooking the fish and as we were bringing in the first fish and wow it was a really good size!! And then thing is that it was so cold that the water on our line was freezing on our line !! And when my buddy got his fish close enough so I could use the net . The fish almost didn’t fit in the net . We got it in and as soon as the water dripped off the fish it froze to the ground and some water hit my barefoot and it was cold but it felt good . And we were catching fish and as we were bringing in our fish I heard are the fish biting?? It was two police officers and all I could think ok someone called the cops because I’m out here barefoot and it’s cold .... Will I was right they started asking questions like where are your shoes? Do you need help ?? And my favorite are you homeless do you need a place to stay ??? I looked at them and I answered all of their questions and my fishing buddy was pulled aside they asked him questions about why am I barefoot!!! And he told them that I never wear socks or shoes and I haven’t worn socks or shoes in 33 years!!!!! And I told the cops the same thing and they were asking you sure you don’t need medical attention?? I told them I’m a barefooter and I get this all the time and they said if you don’t want to have the cops called all the time you should wear shoes!!! I told them that I don’t like shoes and I love my barefoot lifestyle and I’m not going to change it for nobody!!! And nobody can make me wear shoes and I also told them that people should let people like me that go barefoot everywhere and all year around let us live our barefoot lifestyle we are not hurting anybody!!! And they said that people so someone like me they think that you need help or your homeless?? I told the cops only because I’m barefoot doesn’t mean that I’m in need of help or I’m homeless !!! They said yeah you are right and I told the cops that I wish people would just let us barefoot people live barefoot and not think that we need help or we are homeless and maybe they should ask the person if they are ok instead of calling the cops and taking the cops away from more important things !! And they agreed with me and they took my information and I told them that if they ever get a call of a guy fishing and he is barefoot it’s just me . They said ok and as we hooked our last big fish and we started packing up to leave they said that now they have seen it all . And I told them that I’m the only person crazy enough to be barefoot in this cold weather and I also told them that I remove snow in my bare feet and that the city I live in most of the cops know who I am and when they get a call of a barefoot guy using a snowblower and he’s barefoot they all know it’s me . They were amazed and I said if you don’t believe me call the cops where I live and just tell them my name and they will tell you that I’m always barefoot in all types of weather !! They said that they are going to do that . And by the time we loaded up my truck one of the officers said that he called them and the verified that I’m always barefoot and the call me Barefoot Rick and the cop said that yeah they know me and that I never wear shoes!! So after we load up and my truck doors open we ask if we could go and they said yes and have a great day. All in all it was a good day here’s a picture of the fish we caught today!! The guy in the picture is my fishing buddy! Will everybody keep barefooting!!!
