Manly Sandals

Yes, it's true.  I wear these sports-type sandals in the house.  There is an actual reason for this, and I'll briefly explain. 

We live in Chicago.  It gets COLD here in the winter.  The floor gets cold, even with the heat and rest of the house a fairly comfortable temperature.  When my feet get cold, my entire body gets cold.  Even when I wear socks.  I've always been that way.  This stylish footwear is an easy way for me to keep the bottoms of my feet off the floor, keeping my feet warm, and thereby my body at a nice cozy comfort level.

I can't be the only one out there like this, right?

What happens when the temperature rises to 36 degrees in January.

Yes, it was a warm and balmy 36 today in the southside of Chicago.  The picture shows the only trace of ice or snow left on our front porch.  Time to break out the t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops!
