Shoes

Mrs A. is going to have to have to have foot surgery at the end of the month. We just had this confirmed on Monday. Like a lot of women, she has tortured her feet for years by wearing shoes that are ergonomic disasters. I have never understood women and their obsession with shoes.
I understand that you can't wear the same pair of shoes to church that you use to work in the garden, and probably need a different pair for fishing, and maybe one other pair for running, but the point of each of these is utility. They have to be comfortable and perform the function for which they are used.
Women can never have enough shoes. The closet may be stuffed with shoes, but when the adds come with the Sunday newspaper, ZZZIIIPPP they are all over the shoe adds. "Kicky little strap back open toed semisandals" in pastel colors nonetheless! Oh rapture.
I just don't get it.
Here Mrs A. is going in to have surgery, and all she is worried about is her shoes.. She is going around muttering "$%%^&&* sensible shoes", or ^%&*^%*&% orthopedic shoes".
Oh well, I guess that is one of the reasons women will always be mysteries to us male types.

By the way, chapter IV of STAR is out there is anyone cares to read it.

Oooo...sorry, Al...I have to disagree with you here.

While 98% of the women I know DO INDEED have a plethora of all different kinds of footwear, at Palace Peanut, The PK's shoe FAR outnumber my own.

I personally would pretty much go barefoot all the damn time, if it were allowed. Shoes are the first thing that comes off when I get home from work and the last thing I put on in the morning before I head out the door! ;)

Of course, that is one of the things (besides being royalty) that sets you apart from the rest of your gender.
