Dear Bill and Bamboozle,

I like when you PA boy's chime in in agreement with me!

Bam I hear you on the boots. My buddy has a pair of boots that he has had since I've known him and I know him 20 years this June. They are the ugliest boots you will even see but he uses them at his farm for working and messing around on the weekends. They have burn marks and diesel fuel stains and knicks from close calls with a chainsaw but the soles are perfect because every couple of years he gets them reshod with brand new Vibram soles. They are Chippewa's if that matter's to anyone and still available and made in the good old USA in Wisconsin.

When those boots finally do go away I think we'll have a 3 day wake for them?

Do shoemakers even exist anymore?

Regards,
Tim Murphy
