Thursday: Slightly Sunny

Black Timberland PRO, navy pleated Dockers pants, medium navy and medium white stripe shirt, White T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I'm waiting for UPS to deliver a pair of boots and a pair of leather pants. Time to search for some new boots. Time to stop searching.

Wednesday: Another Dreary Day

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black plain front Bass pants, light blue fine check shirt, long-sleeve gray Carhartt T, black pouch boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Mid-morning audio, cowboy boots, I stared, he looked back, but I was back inside before it all registered.

Tuesday: Chilly, Damp, Needed Indian Food

Carolina loggers, navy pleated pants, blue medium stripe with narrow white stripe shirt (got two of these, need to remember how to describe them consistently), white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Lots of sightings of those wonderful lime/yellow mid-weight police coats today. I think I want one. Boot sightings: few (overcast skies and old eyes don't make this easy). The Indian food was great!

Monday, Monday: Good but Still a Monday

Bates military, black Farah pleated pants (sort of looked liked plain fronts -- still working off Thanksgiving food), wide stripe blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sunday: Busy Day but Nice Weather

Lucchese goat ropers (wow, unearthed them), black Wrangler jeans, blue shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Saturday: Beautiful 500+ Mile Journey

Nocona black elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, black Wrangler jeans, gray Cinch shirt, white T, navy briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Sighting: cowboy boots at lunch.

I think I've had enough of "The Road and the Radio" for a while; it's good to be home.

Friday: Nice Day for a 600 Mile Journey

Lucchese 1883 cigar-colored lizard cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, red/black/tan/white striped Wrangler shirt, maroon PBR long-sleeve T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

U.S. Thanksgiving: Beautiful

Chippewa briar Arroyos, black Carhartt jeans, black/blue check Cinch shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I am thankful.

Cowboy boots at lunch and dinner.

Nice cowboy and combat boot sightings at the airport.

Monday: Chilly Fall Day

Black Sendra cowboy boots [warning: this is longer than usual], tight Wrangler blue jeans, black/purple/white check Carhartt shirt, black T & briefs, usual Dickies socks.

In addition to the historical visit in the video, I spent some time in two western wear/boot stores and an Army/Navy surplus store -- sightings, yes, but I feel like I'm cheating.

This is the last video for a while since family stuff will be taking more of my time. [Sighs of relief from several readers].

Sunday: Somewhat Overcast in the AM, Clearer in the PM, Jacket Appreciated

Black Nocona bullhide cowboy boots, tight black Cinch jeans, French blue with white & tan stripes western shirt, gray T & briefs, usual Dickies socks. Oh yea, nice big belt buckle, too.

The route I took today through the lower Blue Ridge Mountains is always good for cowboy boot sightings, and today was not a disappointment. At lunch, there were three; at WalMart, two; getting gas, two (one with a cowboy hat) plus a biker harness boot. And, most men there seem to know that jeans are supposed to show, not hide, things.

Saturday: Cooler but Nice

Tony Lama black cherry cowboy boots, tight Wrangler jeans, blue/white large check Carhartt shirt, black T, old white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Boot sightings good: two cowboy boot sightings and a pair of well-worn tan Wellingtons worn over jeans. Men sightings were good too, including the short, stocky, cowboy-booted dad with a Wrigley Field sweatshirt and the muscular Wellington guy.

Friday: Cool but Beautiful

Tan Justin cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, wide blue denim striped western shirt (a previously-owned one), black T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks. Yea, another video link.

Since most of the day was spent in the car, I didn't have many sightings. I did, however, notice that more construction guys were wearing logger-type work boots (that once were probably black or dark brown).

Thursday: Rain, Gloom, Torrents, Then Sprinkles

Durango triple-dyed cowboy work boots, black Wrangler jeans, red & cream Native American print western shirt, black T & boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I had fairly good sighting of Mass., NY, and NJ state policemen today before the torrents began. Driving in torrents isn't fun. And, I wasn't thinking of hip waders or rainsuits today. But it did cross my mind that if I had to get out of the car, scuba gear might have been nice.

Wednesday (My Friday This Week): Cloudy but Warm

Brown Carolina loggers, navy pleated pants, fine navy check on blue shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Tuesday: Rainy Morning, Sun at Noon, Overcast Later

Yes!

Brown Boulet Buckaroo boots bargain-bought in June, tight black Wrangler jeans, black T & pouch briefs, Dickies socks (not the usual steel-toed).

Worn work boot sightings: good. Men sightings: good (including one who was very affectionate with his wife or girlfriend. Diner: fun. Drive: I love New England. Not much else.

Friday: Warm & Clear

Chippewa briar pitstop Arroyos, tight Wrangler blue jeans, chambray Carhartt shirt, gray T & pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.


Cop looked at my boots and smiled; I smiled back.

Clearing and Warming Thursday (Or Was it the First of Two Fridays)

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, black Carhartt jeans (loose ones that kept falling down -- but at least I wasn't revealing myself as much as the guy with the asphalt crew I saw at lunch), dark navy thin check shirt, white T, black pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I promise this will be my last political post for a while (but if you email me, I'll be happy to elaborate), but what happened today in the Mass. Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) was important:

"The 109-87 vote to recess could deal a crushing blow to opponents of same-sex marriage looking to override the landmark court decision three years ago that put Massachusetts on the vanguard of gay rights."

And, requiem aeternam and WOOF, Ed Bradley.

Wednesday: Rain, Rain, Rain

Bates military boots, black Bass plain front pants with short pockets, red and blue fine check on blue shirt, white T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

In spite of the rain, oh what a wonderful day!

Election Day: Warmer, Not So Bright

Black Timberland PRO work boots, pleated navy Dockers pants, thin dark navy stripe shirt, white T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Things I love about living where I do:

• Having a Buddhist monk ahead of me voting
• Having both Democrat and Republican candidates for state representative both supporting gay marriage
• This time, not having to even consider Republicans on the ballot (I'm a registered Democrat, but I'm a thinking one)
• No matter who becomes our Governor, it won't be Romney (former bishop, current Massachusetts basher)

I think this may be my first political post!

Oh, and saw several pairs of very tight jeans today.

Monday: Also Chilly and Clear, A Four Day Week in Reverse

Carolina loggers, pleated navy Dockers pants, dark navy fine check shirt, medium weight neutral thermal T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

At least I made it outside for the end of the 2:30-3:00 parade of construction guys leaving work.

Sunday: Chilly and Clear

Nocona black elephant and deerhide cowboy boots, Wrangler blue jeans, blue/white large check Carhartt shirt, gray construction company logo long-sleeve T, white pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Reflected today on why something like that long-sleeve T, worn by another man, is important to me.

Full moon rose big and pink tonight; unfortunately, I think it's the "beaver" moon.

Saturday: Chilly, Cloudier Than Expected

Brown Lucchese 2000 cowboy boots, brown Wrangler jeans, black/tan Carhartt flannel shirt, neutral Carhartt thermal long-sleeve T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Some nice mutual admiration with a hot shaved head daddy several times in Wal-Mart (even exchanged words about the weather in the parking lot).

First sightings for the season:

• Guy in a Santa suit
• Guy in insulated coveralls
• Could it have been snow?

Friday: Crisp and Clear

Chippewa loggers, black pleated front Dockers, fine blue check on light blue shirt, medium weight navy thermal shirt, black boxer briefs usual Dickies socks.

It was a nice day for Friday smiles.

hursday: Rainy, Then Clear and Chilly (Moon's Getting Bigger)

Chippewa Crazy Horse work boots, new black pleated pants, medium navy stripe shirt, lightweight navy thermal T, gray boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.

On the way home on the bus, a gender-unspecified with really tight jeans took a seat next to me. I suppose this person only sat by me because it was the only empty seat near the front of the bus (and, next to an old man who wasn't fat, smelly, or had a cane). People who confuse sexual orientation with gender identification amuse (and sometimes irritate) me (they are very different). Within a minute or so the gaydar was going crazy -- not just mine (which uses chromosomes, sexual organs, and distribution of body hair as criteria for maleness), but also his.

Fair Wednesday

Bates military boots, black plain front pants, wide blue stripe shirt, navy long-sleeve Carhartt T, black boxer briefs, usual Dickies socks.
