You have some very large shoes to fill.

Day 23:  Your shoes

Two things:

1.  I've been watching a lot of reruns of High Chaparral lately.  The reason for doing so involves a long story; I can summarize my reasons by saying I'm watching mostly because I like the character of Victoria.  She's just about the only female character in a relationship with a main character in a 1960s western tv series (except possibly Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke) who didn't die after an episode or two.  But there's one thing that bothers me about her character: her outfits.  In season 1 her whole mode of dress looked wrong, except for maybe her traveling outfit and her riding outfit.  In season 2 (where I am now), the dresses have improved, but her shoes haven't.  She's always wearing flats, like little house shoes, even when she travels.  I really think she should be wearing boots like these (except in a way smaller size) when she's traipsing around in the Arizona desert.

2.  In an episode last night, Victoria's brother, Manolito, told a bad guy to take off his boots.  He said it in Spanish, though.  The word for "boots" is "botas", which sounds like "boats", which my boots are as big as.
