It has become really hard to find a pair of non-evil plain white socks. Most of them are branded by some evil athletic shoe company, like Nike or Reebok. I don't want my feet advertising their crappy products. Nor do I want to be endorsing their questionable labor practices. But no-name white socks tend to be made under worse labor conditions. Not only that, they suck. They start getting threadbare after a few months. </p> <p>I'm glad it is getting colder. That means I can start wearing my thick wool socks. My feet love nice wool socks. </p> <p>My kid's babysitter wears mismatching socks every day.

We hired her on the spot.</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/kpunk/blog/sock_blog">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/kpunk/blog/sock_blog#comment Not a Kool-Aid Blog Socks Sun, 04 Nov 2007 10:24:30 -0500 KPunk 3302 at http://www.punkplanet.com
