vegan from toe to ankle
When you live long enough to be an old man your feet hurt, so you're always looking for a better shoe. So I bought a reverse incline "Earth" shoe yesterday. The company motto is: "Different. Like You."
They have no idea.
The box my shoes came in also had the word "vegan" printed on it. I asked the salesman what that meant. (I thought I knew what a vegan is but I didn't see the shoe connection). He said, "That shoe is made without any animal products or by-products; that's important for some of my customers." Hey, if the shoe will keep my feet from hurting I'm all for it.
When I got home from my animal respecting shopping experience I saw a long anticipated package waiting on my doorstep. Inside was my Russian style hat made from a beaver pelt I had tanned and made into a glorious headpiece. I'm wearing it, even now, as I type.
There is a sort of odd balance and counterbalance in my personal existence.

After the guy explained how important animal kindness is did you show him your hunting bow? You could explain how sometimes... they don't even feel it.
Truthfully, I'm taking the vegan shoes back. They don't fit quite right. Or maybe my body rejected them.
You and grandpa can be twins now with your fur hats. But that would mean you would have to wear it everywhere and in every temperature.
LOVED the post! Found your blog through Tyler -- he's a friend from church. He doesn't really like my blog -- too many pictures of my daughter --- THAT must be why he didn't vote for me in his 'favorites of 2207', huh?
I was cracking up at your photo -- LOVED it! Too bad the vegan shoes don't fit -- it's a great story!
That is hilarious. I love the leather jacket effect in the photo.
we are reilly--Thanks for visiting. I stopped by your blog and saw "all those pictures of your daughter." She's adorable. I can see why you post them. I'll bet the grandparents love it.
jonathan h--You're going to post more pictures of the grandkids after May right?
TWH, yes, I intend to blog more after May and with that will come more pics of the kids. I have been writing so much over the last few months, that I haven't had the desire to do much outside writing, but I will soon welcome the chance to write recreationally.
Gee, Tim, it's kind of strange actually seeing hair on top your head. :)
Love the blog.
