It’s -4 in Minneapolis today. Fortunately my boss is out in Denver so I’m parking in her indoor spot. I used to have my own space in the garage, but suddenly you can’t swing a dead cat around here without hitting a director, so I’m back to parking outdoors. Oh, well, I’m a man of the people.
As I sat at El Loro eating enchiladas poblano at lunch I was horrified, well amused, to see a young woman walking into the place wearing sandals. And I’m not talking Birkenstocks with wool socks here, I’m talking high rise platform flip flops and no socks!
I think Darwin will be stepping in soon.
At a school function, I noticed many of the young girls had on flip-flops. I was astounded…they were walking though the snow in flip-flops that were made for the beach, for Pete’s sake!
Dude, it was -43 in Calgary yesterday, or so my spies tell me. So, you know, things could always be worse.
I saw beach flip flops being worn on otherwise bare feet out on the chicago civic center plaza, xmas 2003. un-bee-liev-able. And it was cold, oh yes. have these people developed anti-freeze for blood?
sounds like typical college-student wear. must have been awfully cold if she wasn’t wearing a mini-skirt, too
I’ve never figured out the sandals in winter. And I never want to live anywhere where I need to plug my car in when I park. West Michigan (12F right now) is plenty cold enough for me.
anything in the name of fashion
Was she blonde?
There’s that dead cat expression again…. I love the cartoon down there, btw 🙂 That was something I always thought was fun working as a caricature artist; we were always making cartoons of our bosses and fellow employees. Ah, how I miss it…now I fix computers and take notes all day….

OOOH, the iPod minis are sweet. I’ve already got a hard-disk Mp3 player, and I just can’t justify getting another (spending that much money again, I mean). However, the new iPod shuffles are USB flash drives, and I’ve been meaning to buy one of those so I can take home stuff from work more easily. 🙂 Ah, how excited I am. And by my pigmentation do you mean she was a half breed like me? 😉
