It's been a lazy day. Not warm. Not cool. I bought some new shoes yesterday. My old ones started coming apart at the seams. They were the most comfortable shoes I believe I've ever owned. I went back to the same store and bought the same pair of shoes. They were only $4 more than the old one five years ago. Maybe it's the depression.
Low-cut hiking shoes. I started wearing them after i hiked up on the Appalachian Trail for a ways. I had a heavy pair of fairly expensive hiking shoes back then. As I walked and talked to people who had done a lot of hiking, I realized a lighter weight pair of shoes would be more suitable for my lifestyle. They're still tough enough to stand up to some fairly rough terrain. I've owned a fair number of Columbia sports clothing articles. They're not considered top shelve, but better than the bottom of the barrel.
One of the reasons I stay subscribed to the Thomas group is that new people come through there telling the same stuff I used to say. Sometime it takes that for me to realize I don't say it anymore. Maybe it's just something that people passing through say, and later on realize that it's not unusual for that to be the case.
These people experience events in life that make them think they're special. It's usually the same thing that other people feel makes them special too. Many of the events, activities, and situations that make people feel special are the same old story, but experienced by a brand new person, who will eventually abandon it, for not making them as special as they feel like it needs too.
I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
