Today: December 24. Granddaughter Meghan's birthday (poor child!) Bob has gotten all orders out the door .... but we will be "standing down" until Thursday. Our best wishes to all our great folk out there for a safe and enjoyable time. No more emails till next year ... promise! The "LIST" however will keep getting new stuff added (and yes, the Trask and Phelps shoes have all gone to various Panhandle charities). There are also several very interesting "new arrivals" to share .... next year.

As we are working on "unrelated" ....

Spent the last week (this now almost a month ago) near Seattle with my bro-in-law Randy Shelhorse.  Great guy; great prankster in earlier years ... and in decline unfortunately with diagnosed Alzheimer... mid stages.  He's been admitted into an Eli Lilly  dosage trial for a new drug that works to dissolve the amyloid proteins that are believed to coat and block the brain's neural pathways ... and cause the dementia of Alzheimer's.

He has good and not so good times.  However, he loves 2 things.

  Texas BBQ brisket     and showing off the Pike's Market in Seattle.

We like going to the Market ... continuously running since 1907.  I've been there a dozen or more times over the years.  Very good and very expensive fish etc for sale.  The Market is famous mainly for the "flying fish" salespeople.  They claim it is the fastest and easiest way to get fish from the display to the filet guys etc.    

It is quite a show ... and yes, a few by-standers have gotten smacked
However, Randy kept telling us about the "gum wall".  The what??   Gum Wall?
Well, here it is,   .... well;  as soon as I can figure out how to get that image to load here;  Stay tuned!
