\"\"<\/a>Someone sent me an email which I found amusing. He asked, “do you always<\/i> wear leather?”<\/p>\n

Ummm… no. I do wear it often, around the house and around the community on my own time, when I am riding my Harley, and when I just feel like it. It is warm and comfortable to me. However, I have to wear “business casual” clothes to work, and on occasion, even a dreaded jacket & tie. Fortunately, those occasions are rare.<\/p>\n

I always wear boots when awake: at work, at home, everywhere. I do not own a pair of shoes.<\/p>\n

But this picture attests, I do have comfortable clothes made of materials other than leather (LOL!) — Wranglers, flannel shirt, etc. This is typical attire I wear when I am doing construction, repair, and yard work, mostly.<\/p>\n

This photo was taken just before I took off to attend a public hearing in my community. Just normal comfy clothes for the community leader I am. Thank goodness I am a volunteer, so I do not have to conform to dress codes of the attorneys who testify along side me. They’re stuck in a confining suit & tie at these hearings — and dress shoes. Yuck.<\/p>\n

What boots am I wearing? These are my Chippewa non-steel toe engineer boots<\/a>. So light on the feet and very comfortable. Mike got a special order of tall Chippewa Engineer Boots without steel toes. I wear my pair of these often, ’cause they make great work boots and don’t get hot and heavy.<\/p>\n

Life is short: Boot up!
