July 4-10, 2011 is NATIONAL NUDE RECREATION WEEK, according to the American Association for Nude Recreation.

So who is the AANR?  It’s only a group of 200,000+ people who just like being naked; they find nothing wrong or ashamed about the human body, and don’t mind sitting around in the buff with other like-minded folks.

We knew you would ask – the AANR’s headquarters are in Kissimmee, Florida — just a few minutes away from Walt Disney World. Coincidence? We think not.

The other day, Web Watch was standing in the customer line at our favorite Sausage Shack to gather up some grilling supplies for July 4th weekend.

The gentleman behind us was talking about his love of “natural casing” hot dogs, because he was from Connecticut and knew what he was talking about.  After all, he said, Connecticut consumes more hot dogs than any other state.

As we were intrigued by this comment, Web Watch sensed a challenge.

How can anyone get married and not go on a decent honeymoon to some exotic locale?

Web Watch knows someone who’s idea of an exotic honeymoon destination was Branson, Missouri.  And before you comment to mock the happy couple – they’ve been together 15 years and have been back to Branson a number of times.

Different strokes for different folks. It’s what makes their relationship special.

50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live
50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live

Recently, Orlando and the surrounding area played host to the annual GAY DAYS at Walt Disney World, Universal, SeaWorld, and elsewhere.

And aside from some lame attempts to grab sensational headlines by some organizations that always look for things to complain about – this year’s Gay Days, like others before, came and went without much ado.

In other words, all those people trying to make a big deal about Gay Days?  Not so effective anymore.
