  Right now I’m taking about 10 or more photos for every 1 that I post because I can’t preview on my camera. Then when I get home I have to wade through them. Sucks. The new camera should be here tomorrow though.

  That’s funny that you mentioned the cobbler cause I just saw the NBC show ‘Commited’ last week and there was a guy in a wheelchair that was a cobbler. The show is wickedly funny. I thought to myself how cobblers aren’t that common around my neck of the woods of NC and I wonder why. When the shoe gets old we get new ones. I mean, I’m sure we have em around, but it doesn’t seem like we have as much of a market for them as bigger cities.

  well.. one of the things i dropped off there was a pair of black boots that i totally scraped the leather on when i fell down in the street. I just got them a couple months ago so i was totally pissed. it’s $15 to repair them. a LOT cheaper than buying a new pair.

  Yea, that’s true. $15 is definitely much better than buying a new pair.*lol* So is it mostly dress shoes or athletic shoes also? I’m guessing both. That’s facinating. Now, I’m going through, in my mind, shoes that I’ve owned that could have used repair. I could think of some really great ones that I wouldn’t mind getting done. I have a Doc Martens boots that I’ve had since ‘97. I’ve worn it maybe 3 or 4 times a year so it looks brand new still. A week after I got it, the loop on the back you use to pull on the shoe broke. I took it back to the store and they said they’d repair it. It’s not noticeable, but when you look at it, it’s not a good enough job where you’d be comfortable to pull on it. So since I got em I’d pull on the sides to avoid ripping the loops off. I should have insisted on new ones or gotten a good cobbler to fix it. Hey, it just dawned on me! In the south, the only cobbler we’ve known is peach or apple! No wonder! We’re so deprived!

  It’d be pretty funny to sneak down there in the middle of the night, shinny up the flagpoles, remove the flags and reattach each of them halfway up their respective flagpoles.

  At least, *I* think it’d be pretty funny.

  do people “shinny”? or “shimmy”? Also, it’s been annoying me at work.. this guy keeps emailling me about a “fleshed out” document im working on.. but isn’t it “flushed out”?

  I work with someone who always uses “flush out” for “flesh out”. “flesh out” means to add substance to, “flush out” means to reveal something that’s been hidden. So if your document is sketchy on details you flesh it out.

  awww, that’s so nice of the city to put a little placard there. Now that’s a fine touch!

  Sun-Times Park

  There was a little park with a round fountain and some benches that I used to walk through every day on the way to and from work. On the north it was bordered by McDonalds, on the east was…
