My brother was the same way! It was always a dreadful moment at night when he'd pull off his socks and stand them in a corner. That punishment never made his socks any better, but the punishment we suffered each night made us consider buying a polecat *Skunk* to use as an air-freshener.
In a similar vein, I remember reading somewhere long ago, that the bottom-feeding catfish has 30,000 taste buds. This begs the question, "What is down there that could be so tasty?"

         This is a joyous season, but a dangerous one. Take care out there, my friends, and watch out for nutty drivers. They're easily recognized. They're the ones holding steering wheels. (Don't snicker! I'm being serious.) *Wink*

🌖 HuntersMoon Author Icon - I've only been to California once for one day, many years ago. I was there in late December and it was more 'dark and frozen' than 'good and beautiful' at the time. I went to a beach near Los Angeles to see the Pacific Ocean. It was 'pacific' in name only. I had hoped to return in a better season, in a smaller vehicle, and with someone as interested in sightseeing as I am. I've never been back there, but as PNG, I'd probably be barred from the state. Plus, I'm pretty sure I cause cancer.
