New treads, You never know, No point

I neglected to mention that one of the places I stopped at over the weekend was Johnston and Murphy at the Miromar Outlets. The reason I stopped was to get a pair of brown shoes similar to the pair of black ones I have. There was another reason for the purchase that I will cover down below.

Anyway, while I was there I saw they had a blue pair of the same shoes on sale. At the time I thought getting one pair of shoes was enough. Well after work last night I went back, thinking I should have grabbed them then but I can still grab them now. These shoes fit like sneakers, have a cool tread on the bottom and are waterproof.

Imagine my dismay when I walked in and saw the sale signs for these shoes had been removed. The guy said that sale ended over the weekend, damn it. I had already driven 30 minutes to get there so I bought the shoes anyway at their normal price. I even bought a second white pair that was on clearance. I have been paying more attention to how I dress and a decent pair of shoes are a keystone in that effort.

When I got home last night I ate dinner and then got a call from Gladys. We caught up on the latest and greatest. Afterwards I shot the wrap up video for the ET Max demo but did not have the time or energy to do the editing.

Last week I posted a short video to Instagram demonstrating how much the Tesla actually sees with FSD enabled. It’s like a 10 second clip that just shows the real time view at a busy intersection. For some reason this has been picking up steam and at this point has been viewed by thousands of people. You just never know when something will get legs on social media platforms.

So like I mentioned above I bought the shoes this weekend. I wanted some brown shoes to facilitate my throwing out the pair of brown shoes my ex bought me. I am going to expand on that effort.

Clothing she purchased for me was the one thing that I had not purged myself of since the final split late last year. However although some of the stuff is nice, I found myself not wanting to wear it anymore because of the stigma attached to it. So if I am not going to wear it, why keep it? It’s all going in a donation bag for Goodwill that I will drop off this weekend. Any sentimental value these objects once carried has been nuked into oblivion.

Last year I had sticker shock as I received my first water and sewer bill. The number has moderated down over time but is still large due to my sprinkler system using city water. I have learned to live with it, like many things.
