Be sure to wear shoes when you go to see Santa. This seems to have gotten me on the naughty list this year
Tom why? County boys don’t like wearing shoes. When I was a truck driver, I piked up another company driver in Toledo, to give him a ride to Nashville where his assigned tractor was waiting for him. He said to me “You are diving a tractor trailer with no shoes on?” And I replied “Yea.”
I think, maybe, he expected a longer answer. But what could I say? I don’t like wearing shoes, so why would I wear them, when I am settling into the cab for an all night drive?
David;
If for no other reason; you should wear safety boots, at all times, while PROFESSIONALLY driving a vehicle. Ever had an accident, that might not have been your fault, and had to vacate the cab in one bloody hurry…you can’t get into those boots as fast as you need to…Someone might have wanted you home, safely, for Christmas…Think about it…
Some States, and Provinces, demand that you have footwear on while driving.
Fred, most states do require footwear while driving. As for being home for Christmas, I was that year, and most of my family just ignored my as…me.
Yea, I usually wear shoes while driving now, since I am mostly driving to customers’ offices. But most anyone who has come over to see me, or see my trains, has probably observed me in my bare feet. Or is that bear feat? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
you really don’t wear shoes do you?
Well, they don’t let me work at the BK without them.
Contrary to popular belief, the only state that has a law concerning footwear when driving forbids “inappropriate” footware, but notes that bare is not inappropriate.
I think California invented the “No Shoes…” stuff
PS I went to HS with a real life Jeff Spicoli, great guy BTW.

Not if I don’t have to. Is that a problem?
I have to wear them at work. And of course I wear them when the ground is cold. But, from late spring till late fall, and inside my house all year round, barefeets rule.
And without shoes on, I have a better tactile feel of what my car/truck/van/Jeep is doing.
I came across a great way of ensuring that the grandkids behave before Christmas. Take some empty boxes, Christmas wrap them, put the kids names on and place them under the tree. When a kid is naughty, take one of their “presents” from under the tree and throw it on the fire. Leads to total obedience.

Aren’t they kind of disappointed if they are good and open empty boxes or see some of the boxes missing on Christmas day? (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-frown.gif)
Oh the emotional trauma you are inflicting on those kids. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)
