Wearing the same boots as Monday. Maybe it's the boots not the cold that makes me chatty.

A minor traffic accident near the bus stop brought a fire truck, 2 ambulances, and 2 police cruisers. Hoped to see more, but the fire truck blocked my view and the sun was at the worst angle anywhere I could go and still keep my eye out for the bus. If the driver of the fire truck was a good example of what I missed, I missed a lot.

I'm awfully chatty for someone with a cold.

Sunday

Black Nocona cowboy boots, unbleached Carhartt jeans, black/white plaid lined shirt, Carhartt thermal T, lightweight thermal bottoms, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Bought a new pair of work boots. Young clerk asks me what kind of work I do. I admit I don't need these for work, just like wearing them. With a grin, he pulls up his pant leg to show his and, with a grin, says, "You're just like me!"
