Side note
“People with long second toe are qualitative leaders. They are dynamic and creative, and can be bossy. However, people with smaller second toe are not a pushover, but it means they desire harmony. It is also believed that those, who have a bigger second toe have a tendency to have an upper hand in their relationship and marriage; dominance comes naturally to them.”

I've got boots, I've got crocs, I've got proud meat, and I don't give two fuggs what anybody thinks of any of it. Didn't think men worried about that kinda [bleep]. "Real men" don't concern themselves with what other men wear. I'll remember that. lololol Except spandex. That's fair game in cultures all over the world.

You must live in a very dangerous area! You never know what you're going to run into or where you need to go. You leave the yard or get off pavement much you're going to be poking through blackberry brambles, multiflora rose and/or mud and I want boots for that. Just the other day I had the dogs out for a walk around town when a dog came barreling out of somebody's back yard and went after my dog. A swift kick to the ribs changed his mind. I doubt it would have been near as effective with sandals. This is what most of my yard looks like. I go where I want in it, barefoot, sandals, boots, romeos, whatever I happen to be wearing. I worry not about a dog attacking my or my dogs, I'll kick them with whatever I should happen to be wearing, or I have an item accessible (even in town) that is much more effective than a pair of Red Wings. Wife and I took the dogs up this road, it's no longer got snow on it, yesterday a mile or so to the next section gate. Was talking to the rancher neighbor who moved his cows onto this allotment yesterday after we got home, and while he was up in the area of that gate working fence in preparation for moving the cows on, heard something move behind him only to see a lion skittering away. I have more to worry about with coyotes and lions than I do with dogs and therefor prepare more for them and other possibilities. I've walked up that road barefoot, sandals, boots, LL Bean Mainers, haven't had to use snowshoes yet. And yes, I've walked through sagebrush grasslands more than once barefoot or in moccasins. If I run across a berry patch, or roses, or chaparral that I absolutely have to go through rather than around, I'll take responsibility for poor planning, or I go get proper equipment. I've yet to have anyone chase me through them attempting to take my life. We'll have a shootout before that happens. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dVGg74W8/Gate-to-the-backyard.jpg) Pull your piece to shoot somebody's dog on the sidewalk in town and you're probably going to jail. A boot to the ribs is preferable when it will suffice and is much more effective than a sandal. We ain't got lions here. We do have bears and coyotes but generally not in town. You ain't getting far out of the yard here without going through something with thorns, poison ivy and mud. I'll stick with boots thanks. We have a great sheriff here, and from what I've heard the Chief of Popo in town ain't so bad either. Dog trying to kill mine, if I choose to not let the air out of his lungs first and decide to put holes in him instead, they'd likely see to it I didn't spend much time in the klink. But, you keep wearing your boots in the house, around the yard, in town..............wherever you choose to because that's your right. Don't think of other men as less than "real" because they choose differently though. Makes no sense. There are no town cops here so you'd most likely be dealing with the State police and most of them are dicks. You'd want that dog to be attacking YOU, preferably with some puncture wounds to prove it before using deadly force if you didn't want to be paying an attorney to defend you in court. At the very least you'd likely be charged with discharging a firearm within the village limits with the possibility of animal cruelty and reckless endangerment charges on top of that. Shooting a dog without good cause constitutes felony animal cruelty here. Blackheart: You seem to think that since you've found boots to be your preferred footwear for where you live, they must be the best for everyone, everywhere. None of the rest of us live there. You go to a college town here you can see young men wearing everything from pajamas to skirts and pantyhose with high heels and sandals around town in broad daylight. I suppose to the manly men campfire brain trust that's perfectly acceptable and just shows how very secure they are in their manhood. I find it repugnant and laughable. Why would you suppose such a thing as the bolded statement, it makes no sense.

Spandex is even worse attire for a man than sandals and baggy shorts but not by a lot. I suppose sandals are alright on the beach if you're not going barefoot but that's about it unless you have a vagina.

So only boots because you might have to kick a bunch of stuff to death. The morbidly obese alcoholic Eskimo sheep farmer having reading comprehension difficulty once again. What a surprise. LOL So you kick everything to death and the State guys don't bother you? You are concerned with everyone's shoes and appearance....like a broad.

Every now and then a thread comes along that deals with concepts far beyond the understanding of mere mortals and features dialog that most of us struggle to even begin to comprehend. This has not been one of them.

Gray hair, ponytail, gray beard, earings, baggy shorts............ Oops, I may not meet someone's approval ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/6QVx8RV1/Shoveling-snow-in-shorts.jpg) But, I was wearing the appropriate snow boots for the job, so that's got to be good for a coupla points?

Certainly not practical to have all that hair in the summer heat of Cali. I suggest a trip to Woodstock where you'd fit right in.
