Yeah.
Maybe.
More like it.
Gotta trace my foot now and make a pattern.

Here's a strange little story, pulled from the Tire Sandal link in yesterday's last blog entry:
He punched discs out of tires to make bicycle tires (for those who were lucky enough to still have a bike.) You bought enough of the discs, drilled or burned holes in the center, and ran a sturdy fence wire through the holes. To mount these 'tires' one twisted the fence wire until it was tight enough take up any slack. It was a very hard ride, especially on the old cobblestone roads, but it was better than walking for some people.
Very innovative! He is referring to people in Germany improvising bicycle tires after WW II, when there were no new tires to be had. Necessity IS the mother of invention.
