Croc Crazy Here


Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is Croc crazy here.

Men, women, children, babies, doggies, cats,

This is the shoe of the moment.

I tried some on a couple months ago but with my two different sized feet (7 1/2 and 8 1/2 --polio at young age) the standard shoe just wasn't gonna work without me buying two pairs. (See all of y'all who thought I was just PERFECT, will now know, or be reminded that I have a few minor defects)

The Croc company is about to come out with a flip-flop version. The illustration is on the website--no price yet. I'll get those and buy one pair (split the size difference)

I see school kids, boys and girls, moms, teens, you-name-it wearing Crocs.....of course the mild climate here helps. Guys wear the guy-colors like drab.

We can sorta pull off open shoes year 'round--worn by those of us optimistic by nature. As in "once the sun comes out this day will warm up for sure".

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
"the beach, our original crocs model; comfortable, cool, and molds to your feet; orthotic foot bed; advanced toe-box ventilation system; slip-resistant and non-marking soles; anti-microbial and odor resistant; ergonomic italian styling; wide, roomy foot bed; made from PCCR material; buoyant; weighs only ounces"

We even have Croc knock-offs already...called Gators or something. Wonder how long any of them last? Seems like they are so soft them might wear away quickly.

A side note: for anyone interested in SEO, the Croc website description on Google SERPS says "checking for flash", that is a really great, grabbing tagline isn't it--NOT. I read where a Google engineer once made a joke about a Flash site and said something about the description being "loading, loading, loading...."

yes, they are comfortable, but they are still ugly. payless has their version for about half. i don't like to see men in them. i just don't think men & clogs go together. but that's just me.

i'm sticking with my clarks for the winter, and my hula print birks for the summer. and my son's outgrown mizuno slides. speaking of summer, can't wait.

I've seen many foolish women (in the landscape business here this summer)wearing them to do garden chores. Don't think OSHA would approve of them if they were in a gardening accident. Otherwise good air circulation if someone has toe fungus. Barb

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
