I was intrigued by your item about the sandals and socks pairing that causes (quite rightly so) some outrage in Charlottesville. The funny thing is, there seems to be a lot of German blood in Charlottesvillians, and over here (I'm French) Germans are known for causing widespread appalment by touring all of Europe's countries sporting this utterly tasteless combination, no matter what terrain (and what season) they choose to ramble. This trend seems to have survived the Great Trek West. This raises a frightful question: are there socks in genes?
Apologies to any German fans of Slowpoke. You are welcome to respond in defense of your country's footwear.
