Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 29, 2019

Or, the trick is that there is no trick. The sand is just an illusion in your mind.

Monty’s having the same problem today.

Maybe he’s not dune it right?

Works for me, Spud. Except, i can get away with it, because I’m 60.

I’m with Spud. Well, not with the socks with sandals per se, but with wearing footwear to cross the hot sands.

Not to say Wallace’s methods don’t have a certain amount of merit to them too…I’m just not brave or resilient enough to make use of them. :P

I had a pair of stretch rubber beach shoes. You put them on walked on the sand with no problem. You went right Into the water with them, too. They were great. I don’t think they are around any more.

Why go to the beach in the first place? You’ll just get sand everywhere.

We used to just shuffle along with our feet buried…of course a flesh eating bacterium was not a thing in SoCal in the ’50’s.

The point is to toughen up the soles with callouses.

So Spud wears sandals with socks. He’s an ese. :D

walking on hot sand barefoot is amazing.
