I've seen exactly two people under 40 on the Historic side of the villages whose "appearance" would definitely cause some random old geezer to need a pacemaker battery change. I haven't seen either of them in the papers for any crimes committed, so I'll just assume that either a) they're not committing any or b) they haven't been caught. In either case, there aren't any reports of rampant crime in our area either - which leads me to believe these two kids just enjoy looking freaky.

I did too back in the day, I was into the bell-bottom jeans with the YES logo written all over them in magic marker, tye-dye shirts and gauze blouses and a bandana tied over my hair. Each generation has its wardrobe quirks, its group of "non-conformists" who create their own conformity.

That's a good comment and I will try to remember to take a spare pacemaker battery with me as I walk around the neighborhoods.
