Good day GW,
thinking back to your comment yesterday about the nature of an animal. My last cat, adopted from a shelter, turned out to be the smartest of all my cats. A domestic cat with no pedigree; a couple of cats I had were pedigree but they did not have the character of my adopted tabby. I wholeheartedly agree the nature of an animal is more important than looks.
Speaking from the perspective of a person learning to sketch, I also see the physical characteristics of an animal.
Appearance mean nothing when an animal looks at you with intelligence and affection.
Yep I have a knot on my calf muscle this morning. Must have really strained it good.
God reached down and gave me speed. Our track team finished 2nd in state my senior year. I have 2 silver metals to prove it. Got a college scholarship at a D-2 school where I bombed out. Drinking beer was a lot more fun. That summer is when I smoked my first joint.Happened to me too in High school in sports ,but my coaches said to me "The world needs more electricians",
It was a nice way and let me down easyier

Muscle cramps; they are painful indeed.
In High School I was given the award "Destin to go to lunch first

Morning Pute, you must have been fast!
Then old age happened, good thing about that, you can still partake in the cannabis ritual of the elderly.
I never earned a medal. I was thinking about buying myself a trophy.
I was unofficially elected president of the "Men's Bald Headed Society"

Well, it's time for the Saturday morning routine, better get at it.
Honestly, I was never impressed by Chuck Norris. I remember when he got started with one Karate studio in Fresno California. Bruce Lee made Chuckles when he gave him his first movie job.

On some hot summer work related jobs, like bridge demolition we took salt pills.
Good day Old Man! Hee, hee, hee! If only they could communicate....................................
I was never fast! I ran the 100-yard dash the same speed in full football uniform as I did in track shorts.
In football I had to make up for being slow by being shifty.................
About a year ago I got custom inserts for my shoes. It drastically cut down on foot cramps. They made a mold of my feet and then made a custom support insert that I put in my shoes in place of the factory insole. $500 for the first set and then I was able to order 2 more sets at ONLY $250 each since they still had the original mold.
Still, at any price, it was worth it. I was having trouble hiking even 1 or 2 miles without suffering massive cramps. With these inserts I do 2 or 3 miles on downtown concrete and I am cool as ice.
OK, this brings about a question I have for all you old farts...... SHOES. What kind of shoes do you wear now in our...waning years. LOL
In recent years I have gone through foot menopause and my feet have changed. I wore Rockports for years when I was younger but at some point they just didn't do the job any more. Later, during my footopause I switched around and finally ended up wearing Brooks most of the time. Wore Brooks through most of my 60's. Now I am in my 70's and still changing.
I also have a bone spur on the top of my big toe joint that hurts constantly. It's a pretty simple surgery but I have put it off too long and now it is just worse. Anyway, because of that I need a "Wide Toe Box". Fortunately, a term that is becoming more popular in the shoe world. Still, some of my Brooks have become unwearable and I am looking around.
My goto shoe was the Brooks Adrenaline. Full support.
My PodDr suggested Brooks, New Balance and Asics.
I got these Asics and love them. A little bold but in Palm Springs they go, pretty much unnoticed. LOL
Finding any shoe in a WIDE is tougher than I thought.
Because of my spur, he suggested "Rocker Toe and "Rigid Sole". which is most running shoes.
I also wear Hey Dude casual shoes if I'm not going to be walking much. Without the inserts, my feet cramp in about 10 steps. These are the worst support shoes in the world. Still, they are SUPER comfy and have a lot of style. I have 22 pair of Hey Dude shoes. LMAO Mrs Ringo calls me Imelda Marcus. LOL
So, what kind of shoes do you wear for walking and everyday?

Sketchers with Dr Scholls insets. As a matter of fact i have the Dr Scholl's inserts in everything. Hiking boots slippers....everything. I used to have the expensive inserts from a podiatrist but the inserts work just as well. For me anyway. Inserts were $20 each.....lot more affordable.
After I got out of school I had shin splints so bad it would have given me a military deferment.....but I the days of Nam you didn't complain about petty stuff like that.
