They pay me for it. I'll call it work. It's physical, in a different way. My work boots got scuffed today. The pavement did it. Relax, I did not get hurt. Fortunately, I was able to brush it, and it's okay. I'll be able to wear them for another shift.
"For every dollar spent in The Hindu Kush, the poppy is grown, refined into product, and worth $2 by the time it gets to The Free Trade Zone. The Usos are our longshoremen. They unpack the Conex boxes. The product is now worth $3, by the time it gets to the distributor. Then $4 when it gets...
Far from stylish. Completely functional. Free. I like free.
When I spend my own money, I buy different boots. Are they work boots? It all depends on how you define work. I have a friend who is an electrician. But his job is changing light bulbs. Lighting upgrades. Removing the old...
"Turn that off. You're going to be an old man one day, and still following that band on tour."
The shoe store girl. The girl who gave me shoes, from the store that she works at. The niece of The High Priest.
"And you'll probably still be wearing that leather jacket, and those carpenter...
For some people, the employer supplies the work boot. So you get a pair every year, whether you want them or not. Most of these boots are far from the best. But they serve a specific purpose related to what you are doing. What I have learned is that these types of shoes are comfortable...
The Princess Rubali. Is everyone from The Hindu Kush beautiful? She had green eyes. She wore what I thought of as cultural clothing. She had about a half dozen girls following her. Her maidens. Her servants. Pushing carts with their luggage. Somehow, all of those girls and the baggage fit...
Over all, these are good boots. Just not thick, heavy, and rugged. I like them. Very versatile. I will wear them with my semi-formal, the next time black tie is requested. As opposed to cowboy boots, which is what I normally wear with my black tie.
These came my way, via the last Allen Edmonds sale.
Very comfortable. Perfect fit.
Not "real" engineer boots. Leather is a little thin. More like a "dress shoe". Sort of like how my motorcycle boots' leather is thicker and heavier than women's fashion boots. This boot will offer no...
The Sheik. Sheiky Baby. She was actually his daughter. The Candy Girl. Her Daddy was The Sheik.
"Daddy is actually a real Sheik. He rules our tribe. My mother is the 5th wife. She's Dutch Afrikaan. I have her eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair. So I won't be in line to ever rise to his...
Many buildings in large cities have underground space. Subterranean levels. Sometimes 4 or 5 sub-basements. Several square blocks of buildings could be connected. Nothing nefarious. All for infrastructure. Electrical rooms. Telecommunications panels. Pump stations. Elevator hydraulics...
The Others.
Behind The Walls, several resident demographics are the majority. Power is divided by race and numbers. The incarcerated census. They call the shots behind the bars, and mastermind street level activities outside The Walls.
A much smaller group, The Others, is made up of...
