I was playing music on the mall with Luke and the half of Bean Creek and one quarter of REO Haywagon. We played for two hours but didn’t roll in too much dough. (I knew we shoulda played closer to the bakery. . . 
)
Anyway, afterwards as we were wrapping up, a guy cradling a rabbit in his arms came up and asked us if we were making a statement/movement or something. Billy said no and that we were just jamming. Then Billy added (jokingly) that we were headed right down to Ross to get some shoes for Luke ‘n I (since we are always barefoot ['cause it feels more comfy than wearing shoes]). The guy said, “oh you don’t wear shoes? I’m so sorry!” I responded with, “Where’s your feet?” He said, “well, the last time I went barefoot, I got an infection.”
That would probably be true if somebody always wore shoes an then tried going barefoot but we’ve never gotten infections or fungi or whatever. . . I didn’t say this to him mind you.
Than I responded with, “Do you put shoes on your rabbit?” (not attacking him mind you, just asking a non-threateningly question) He said he didn’t ’cause the rabbit lives in an RV. My question went *phhoooosh* right over his head!
Hey Kyle,
I get to be the first to post in the new format. I like the new layout, very nice.
anyhoo, I also get comments about going barefoot, especially “aren’t you feet cold ?” I usually respond with “no, not at all”. what did they think was cold ? 65 degrees and sunny. If my feet were cold I’d wear shoes. It is also funny how many people think going barefoot into stores is against the law, which it isn’t.
Like you I haven’t had any fungus, infections or ick from going barefoot and going barefoot helps keep my feet strong and healthy. Also contrary to popular myth, going barefoot doesn’t lead to fallen/flat arches. I have really high arches.
peace out,
bob (unclebob)
