What is it with shoes? I keep spotting shoes in weird places. Always a single shoe, on its own. I see them out cycling, in the grassy verge MILES from any driveways or houses. I see them on the bottom of the lake - out really deep, just one shoe on its own, then further own, a completely different shoe, all on its own.
Are these shoes getting their by their own free will? Are shoes by nature solitary characters? When we force them to hang out in pairs are we actually damaging their delicate sensibilities? Or, and I must admit, this seems a bit more likely, are the shoes there because they have been put there by people? If this is the case, who does that? Who tosses a shoe (just one!) out the car window, or over the side of the boat? If you do, what do you then do with the other shoe? Who has a use for just one shoe? Well, apart from one-legged people. Is there a strong correlation between being one-legged and having a tendency to litter? With footwear?
I got chased by a dog the other night. It wasn't too serious, I was shuffling by wheezily, and it was inside a fence. I was a little perturbed to here its owner call it off, saying "Leave her alone, she ain't got no wallet".
OK, well until next week, make sure you don't have any wallet-sized bulges in your running shorts, it will protect you from dogs!
