Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!

Ethel told me that the way to tell whether someone in Europe is an American tourist is by their footwear - they're the ones wearing white sneakers. I decided I didn't want to look like an American anymore, not until after the next election anyway, so I bought a new pair of shoes.

I looked long and hard, and found a really cool pair. They're totally stylin' (thanks Urban Dictionary). And, get this, they're environmentally friendly. The soles are even made from old tires! It was like Hanukah Chanukah חנוכה Hanukkah all over again this morning when the UPS man showed up.
