Maybe. However, I almost exclusively wear shorts!
I like going barefoot, even in northern climate. It sends my neighbors running for their firearms, but I've found that walking through snow (to get the mail or newspaper) when the temperature is above freezing (so that the snow evaporates almost as fast as it touches you) is very pleasant.
On the other hand, walking through snow in freezing temperatures is like stepping across a box of needles...
I wish I'd known you, Richard, when I was younger and had more influence over my final destiny.... I would have set my sites on a second home in the tropics instead of trying to get the most out of life for the least investment....
