One of the ladies at work and I had an extended discussion of shoe attachments like YakTrax and such that strap on over the shoe and provide traction. I love the idea of them, but all my standard shoes are such that I would still be lacking the requisite waterproof-ness and warmth that winter boots provide.
I do need to swap in my winter boots for a new pair, though. They are still warm, and still waterproof - EXCELLENT for a pair that are over a decade old, at this point - but the waffle structure of plastic underfoot in the sole is crumbling, and sharp pokey parts are poking me in the foot, and that makes me sad.
I wonder if I could write a letter to the bootmakers singing the praises of the boots but pointing out the sadness of this loss of structural integrity and get pointed toward the modern version of the same.
Re: Needlestuff: I am awfully fascinated, and insist on torquing myself in such a way as to be able to watch. This also reminds me that I am well overdue for going to donate blood.
Also also: GOOD, that is exactly how it was in my head while I was writing it. How far into Nightvale are you? I petered out after a time Because Of Reasons, but would be delighted to pick it back up to be in step and fangirl over it with you.
