Do they tend to have less slack that can be adjusted with the laces than boots that don't zip?
I've not tried any boots that zip AND have laces, so I'm not sure. I'm willing to lose the 10 minutes or so it takes to lace up knee-high boots.
These, I noted, also have elastic dart thingies. Less rigid than some of my others.
Oh, that's clever.
You know what there should be? Where I can find it? A fashion terms site, with both illustrations and photographs.
Yes, and in a perfect world, it would be manditory reading for every person who sells clothing on eBay.
And they have the best french toast I have ever tasted. Literally. Mouthwatering.
Oh, with amaretto? Those look delicious. Might have to go there for breakfast once I am back up there. I have a file of places to eat...
Oh, Pavarotti was in excellent voice. Any other opera geeks around to tell me if they transposed that final high note down?
Sorry, not watching opening ceremonies or anything here. It was SciFi Friday all the way, which meant we scraped one friend off the ceiling after a particular
thing
happened on BSG.
Now I must be ridiculously busy this morning, because my best window for grocery-shopping commences in about 45 minutes. Because the Killer Blizzard From Hell!!!1! is scheduled for tomorrow. So I won't be able to go tomorrow morning as usual, and if I linger too long today, the grocery stores will be full of panic buyers....

I think it's already too late for that. The media has been whipping people into a frenzy. I went shopping last night, and it was mobbed.

I don't remember the weather folk on the news doing this when I was younger. Is it a semi-recent phenomenon, or was I just oblivious as a child (which is entirely likely).
It think it's part of the growing the Culture of Fear phenomenon.
I think Americans are getting entirely too timid, is what I think.

Yeah, they did a lot of the same fear mongering, at least here in New England. One of the reasons so many people died in the Blizzard of '78 is that the TV weatherpeople had been predicting massive snowstorms that turned out to be nothing every other week leading up to the storm, so that when the big storm finally hit, no one was listening to the warnings anymore.
It's raining and gloomy in NC, and I think we're going to cook beef stew and homemade macacroni and cheese (great idea!) and watch luge. Nesting day!
