Thread: A little help from my friends

Humans are very adaptable. I remember a time in Thailand when the daytime temps ran upwards of 120 at peak sun and got into the high 70's in the evening. I often slept in a wool blanket to stay warm. It takes a few weeks to really acclimate but it happens.

Just saw an ad on TV for a place up here that purports to make genuine ugg boots. I wouldn't be able to do anything until into the new year, but I can scope it out for you and send a pair over if you like Glen, assuming they are in fact genuine. Although that might be too long to wait at this time of year, I know.

Personally, I cannot wear ugg boots. I can, but even when I wear socks with them my feet sweat so badly that the shoes become so funky that they get thrown from the house by my disgusted wife after about 3 weeks. Not even odour eaters can help.
