Ralph, You've alluded to these FM shoes several times, what's the story on them? I keep thinking of the fella lived up the road told one time about how he always wore his sneakers when "gettin' down to business" because they gave him more traction. The picture of this has always sent me into fits of giggles.

They don't go well in the barn or out spreading shit. Maybe Mrs Ralph wears them. My only thought is perhaps they would be a weapon with which to defend oneself in case of a terrorist attack? Ruth Ruth, Ixnay on high heels for Mrs. Ralph, although she is somewhat vertically challenged. We don't have a barn (or even a garage, boo hoo) for her to wear them in, and perhaps it would be wiser for the time being if I don't comment on spreading shit. High heels make no sense to me, although as noted previously, the FM Shoes phenomenon is most intriguing.
