I didn’t see any mention of a deeper discount to items already on sale in the preview. Anyone have insight?

It's nice to have you pop in. Feel free to hang around more.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear your daughter has it. I would argue that she needs to rest. Also, make sure she is not taking any fever reducers. Those can make the virus more dangerous from what I read. fI have a friend who is a doctor in Michigan and he told me it is possible to get a worse infection form people who are exposed to the virus for long periods of time. He said that is the reason why so many doctors in Italy died. This is also the reason why people should avoid coffee shops, buses and airplanes. Sitting next to someone for hours who is infected could be more dangerous than getting it on your hands. Speaking of, I've learned that wearing gloves is a great idea right now because it's impossible to get all the virus off your hands.

Sorry, just saw this. Wearing gloves is a pretty terrible idea right now, unless you are continuously throwing them out and putting on new ones while you are out and about.
People have some odd idea that the virus can somehow be stopped from penetrating your skin with gloves on. It of course doesn’t enter the body that way, but people are much more lax about what they do and don’t touch when they are wearing gloves, sensing some sort of false invincibility.

People wearing gloves are more likely to transfer viral particles from place to place and infect other people this way. Or yourself. Wearing gloves to pump gas and then driving away with them on the steering wheel is just as likely to infect yourself than without gloves. And you are much more likely to wash your hands at some point along the way.

This is one of those “it sounded like a good idea at the time” kind of things that ends up backfiring.

One of my few Strandmoks that I will wear with odd trousers. I am more of a linen and chino guy for this style.

First wear of my Flint Kudu Byron boots today. These can look more gray or more brown depending on the lighting. I swapped out the laces which I think elevates them!

Anniversary sale is live gentlemen!

 

[liquidjelly]

Does anyone have any recommendations for replace fifth street laces? I think mine are comically too long and it's the only thing that prevents me from wearing them more often!

 

[mreams99]

The anniversary sale begins and there are two or three that interest me.

One of them is the cherry red suede Neumok. This is the only Neumok that can’t be ordered online in a B-width. It was previously mentioned that an SA could order these in a B, but that’s not an option with the stores closed....
