Recently I went backpacking in the Three Sisters mountain range, when i peeled off my socks at the end of the day I discovered several disgusting blisters. This got me thinking: if socks were working out as well as they were meant to, i wouldn't have to deal with these nasty deformed toes. To remedy this problem (and allow me to continue hiking for the next four days) I applied a material called "mole skin" to the damaged areas. This got me thinking, and I've decided that i probably wouldn't have gotten the blisters if I had put the mole skin on before I had even started walking. I probably wouldn't even be in any discomfort right now. What I'm trying to say is that it's high time there was another huge advance in the way we think about shoes ("Chaco sandals don't count), and i'm suggesting we wear mole skin all the time as a kind of sub-sock. One sock obviously isn't doing the job. People would walk around with one more thin layer of cloth on their feet, and nobody would ever have problems again.
Speaking of obsolete, if anyone wants to buy me a new car, it would be very nice. The main problem is that the clutch is in terrible condition (at least four people have learned to drive stick shift on it), and it is likely to blow up at any minute. Unfortunately the body doesn't look crappy enough to send it to the "Pimp My Ride" TV show. Crap.
