Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I guess desert during the winter is the best environment for Uggs, or indoors. I'm surprised that they suddenly seem to be a magic solution that no other boots can meet.

Yeah, I look at those boots and think, my feet would be wet pretty quickly. Among other things. If I lived in the desert, I might wear them, but as it is I rarely even wear my wool clogs outside.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

what is personally embarrassing to me is that I have a pair of uggs that I purchased before all the rage. I was pre-fad. I limit wearing them (they are pretty good in cold, but not icy weather) because I don't want to look like I got off the fad bus.

They are also old, so the soles need reglueing or something.

LeN, you wear toe shoes. Aren't you impervious to third party opinion by this point?

Because books.

Oh, I want that job, Consuela. I could quit smoking, but I don't know about getting my captain's license. And S. could cook! What to do with the kids, though ...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This article proffers a list of the most dangerous cities in the world.

I didn't realize Honduras was that bad. And yikes, Raq is headed to Venezuela.

I'm saying! You're obviously willing to prioritise feet first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Once I put in the help system, it goes off my to do list.

Yeah, that makes me crazy with emails, too. Once I've sent the email, the task feels done to me. IT IS NOT DONE.

Coming into the office this morning, I was walking behind a young woman wearing Uggs, skinny jeans, a high side ponytail, and a glittery skinny headband. Of all things to come back, I would not have predicted side ponytails!

A good friend of ours married a woman from San Pedro Sula and lived there for several years. They're back in the states, but go back regularly. He's casually mentioned that everyone's house is behind a wall, but he's never said anything about weapons or street violence.

He did casually mention that he was once nearly killed at a border crossing.
