    Nah it’s seems like a waste of time, plus I’d be tempted to say something which surely wouldn’t end good for me.

    Teenagers generallywear what they are brought up to wear, sometimes you might have to remind them who is doing the bringing up. lol

    One of the best, best, best ,best things about moving north, none of this bs on the radio. Lord I was sick of that on the radio down south.

    What is wrong with farm boys, or any boys that are raised to be somewhat sensible and self sufficient, girls too for that matter.

    3 day run from San Diego to MT. Boots to load, and been flip flops since. I will be back in boots to deliver in the morning. No sense getting dressed up for lot lizards and Dennys waitresses.

    Teenagers tend to wear what those in circle of influence whear. Is that is who brought them up , sure but during the teenage years it's usually what the media tells them is cool.

    The wife dont do much laundry these days and im tired of buying new socks. I hate to say it but my crocks have outlived 3 pair of steel toes. And my feet dont rot off either.

    Dont worry, theyre hi vis steel toe safety crocks. But i drive barefoot mostly. And shirtless when the AC is broke. The marble countertops and stone veneers still get put up in richies house as planned.

    In the summer I like to be comfortable, so I drive in shorts, and sandals. When I get to my destination either to load, or unload, on goes my coveralls, and steel toes. Since loading and unloading heavy equipment is usually a very dirty job the coveralls keep my clothes clean as well. Then remove the steel toes and coveralls, and get back in my clean cab, in clean clothes and sandals, and drive off.
    Been doing it this way for 30 years, worked good then, and still does.

    ....Because some people are civilized enough to believe in keeping their fungus and odors confined to their own shoes. o_O

    There should be a law that says only females should be allowed to do that.

    I wear nice steel toe boots at work but when I’m not working I’m wearing sandals, like right now. I’m putting polyurethane on my coffee table. In Sandals!!!
    And why shouldn’t sleeper truck drivers be allowed to air out their dogs when they’re not at a customer?
