    Steel toe boots even in the summer. I'm just used to wearing them. I feel naked with regular shoes on.

    People who wear flip flops blow my mind. What happens when you have to get out in a muddy dirt lot? Or its raining? Or you there's a puddle of diesel fuel where you're pumping? Yuck.

    Depends on if there are enough dry spots to frogger a way to the store, if it's still raining I'll begrudgingly put on shoes. If there's a bunch of juice on the ground I just step around it. There's a technique involved. I also sometimes sprinkle diesel on the sleeves of my hoodie because I love the smell. :D

    I am an immigrant from Eastern Europe. A white Volvo Owner. I have, however, grown up watching John Wayne movies, so in an effort to blend in better I was thinking of ditching flip flops and getting these;

    Once, I decided to bypass DeSoto IA scale. And I was pulled over right at the ramp of the last exit before it. I told the blue Impala cop I was not bypassing their insignificant scale but I was on my way to visit the birthplace of John Wayne...believe me or not but I was let go.
