I know I have been unusually quiet on this blog. It’s already the first of September and I realized that I have not written a post for this blog since two weeks ago on my 2020-birthday-from-hell.<\/p>\n

Yeah, the day downgraded rapidly, and kept me…
\n
\n… really really REALLY busy caring for my beloved husband. He’s having a very rough time. I will not say any more since this blog is public and frankly, it’s not the boot or leather enthusiast’s business. <\/p>\n

Let’s say that I am “focused” on what’s most important. <\/p>\n

During this time, I have stayed home. Home is where my heart is.<\/p>\n

I have not ridden my Harley because if anything happened to me, my husband would lose his primary caregiver and I’m not going to let that happen.<\/p>\n

I also have to stick close to the phone and computer.<\/p>\n

However, I do not want to give up on this blog. I see so many blogs just stop, like they are in suspended animation. So I will try to post something boot- or leather-related at least once a week.<\/p>\n

Starting here: examine the ad from Tecovas below closely — a new Chelsea boot they released today. <\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong — I really like Tecovas Boots and now have 14 pairs that I wear regularly<\/a>. While Chelsea boots are not my style or taste, they are appealing to the younger dudes so the company can continue to expand their clientele. I get it. I will not buy a pair of those boots because I just don’t like them. That’s my personal choice and my tastes.<\/p>\n

However, like you used to see in magazine puzzles, what’s wrong with these marketing pictures? My next post will explain if you don’t see it.\"\"\"\"If you can’t tell what I am concerned about from the above, how about this:\"\"Life is short: wear the right boot for the right application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
