Dirty Old Men

I've talked about Raymond in a previous post.  I've changed his name to protect his confidentiality and provide some anonymity.

Raymond is almost 80 years old and he makes me laugh as well as shake my head.  He has been married a couple of times and has been divorced for a number of years.  He's invited me to his place on numerous occasions and I've politely declined (well sometimes not so politely).  He typically offers a bed to stay in during the cold, should my heating go out.  He's often offered to allow me to move in with him so I could save money.  Raymond says one side of the trailer that never gets used and he keeps it closed off and that is where he has offered I could stay.  Raymond says I should ignore the two holes that have been drilled in to the bathroom door.  The holes are set so that he can peer in the bathroom.  Then he openly talks about watching movies in bed and in the nude and invites me to join him.  Sometimes, I know more about my neighbor's than I ever really wanted to know. (So I share it with you, the Internet Community!)

He's also well aware of my coming and going, which is a bit unnerving.  I figure it is because he lives somewhat nearby and has nothing else to do.  Raymond is one of the neighbors who has encouraged me to stop riding the bicycle since I seem to fall so often. 

Raymond is the "dirty old man" of the park.
