Okay, I now know what not to wear should we ever meet. I do wear my Merrill's until they fall apart though....LOL.

Yeah, so do I...and use the old pair to paint in. Merrill's, REI, Clif bars--can you tell I was talking about myself?

I'll bet my husband's, paint-stained, scruffy Merrill's look worse than yours. I finally got him another pair. BTW, I have an excellent condition Samsung Galaxy S5 that I'd love to give to your daughter if she would like it. It's just sitting in a drawer as I didn't know what to do with it. Case, charger, extra batteries all just sitting there.

But are the toes blown out? Cracks in the soles? I'll ask Melissa if she'd like a smartphone upgrade--you are too kind! You'd think that someone who does science reporting for NPR (KNAU) would have the latest technology...she has quite a twitter following...

Impressive website! I wonder if Melissa would consider doing a Zoom program for the Cochise Chapter of the AZ Native Plant Society? Doug (my husband) is always looking for interesting speakers for this coming fall/winter.

The "snobs" line is just so true of any group.

Indeed. I hesitated writing about this but then saw it in myself, so I figured I'd just own it. Watched Bottle Shock last night and had to laugh at the ultimate in snobbery--wine snobs!
