Monday: Gloom and Doom

Carolina loggers, black Carhartt jeans, thin navy stripe shirt, white T, gray pouch briefs, usual Dickies socks.

Good day, however, for sightings:

Three policemen: one in a car I talked to, a motorcycle cop with well-fitting breeches who smiled at me, and another motorcycle cop with ill-fitting breeches who did the cop-scowl thing when I passed. Odd that I actually looked above the boots. And, why didn't this happen to me when I was younger?

And, I need to break with the normal tone of this blog, by writing: LHL: In paradisum deducant angeli. I think this link from the New Yorker about someone who I've heard live (and, sadly, will not any more) will work.

Monday: Hot, Sun, Rain Storms

Dayton logger work boots, Carhartt denim overall, orange Carhartt T, old white briefs, usual Dickies socks.

I've had the Dayton work boots for several years; they sit in the basement ready for small times of garden work and other manual tasks. I've never worn them for more than a couple hours at a time. While I was packing, they asked if they could go on vacation, too, and I agreed. Today was a long driving day, and, since I looked kind of scruffy (like the kind of guy who usually gets a look from me), they fit my outfit better than any thing else I took on vacation. And, they did their job quite well. They had a previous owner. I often wonder what he was wearing with them.
