Hi Bob,
I've gotten a little disgusted with the shoe and with myself as well, a
little, for getting sucked into thinking about war themes, when I'm not
really that kind of a guy.
Thanks for comments, but I' heartliy weary of the piece and don't intend to
look at it or read it any further - a minor dummy-spit, of the first order
LOLOL
Seriously, thanks again for comments, I think you're right about
shoes/apparel telling much about the wearer and are useful for providing a
glimpse inside the subject.
Cheers,
Frank
