the sploosh effect...
I LOVE sunshine, I LOVE it when there is no wind, but most of all, I LOVE it when the two combine!! Today is a pretty fabulous day, there is no wind, it's 13 degrees and I think I even heard a bird chirp!! I most definitely sported capris and flip-flops today. Although, there is one issue with rushing the season, it's what I call the sploosh effect. So as wonderful as it is today, the post-snow dirty puddles have formed. It's okay if you avoid them, but if you're walking at a somewhat speedy pace and hit one of those bad boys, you are done for! Today as I was walking, I plowed right through a puddle, and sploosh, it happened. The flip-flop flips and there you have it, a nice dirt sploosh right up the back of your khaki capris! It is a sad occurence, but it's what one must endure to enjoy the luxury of capris and flip-flops.

Alexa, I was so with you today. I wore khaki capris and flip-flops. I LOVE flip-flops!!!
Don't love the puddles but today was so beautiful that all is good.
Love it Alexa!!!
I took a massive dog for a walk in flip-flops the other day and ended up in a pile of snow. Cold yes, but also invigorating. Oh well, the hazards of rushing the season as you said.
I was so sad to hear why you didn't make it to hockey on Tuesday!! Hope to see you out next week!
How true!!!! Being a flip flop addict, the "spray-painted" rear is quite common. In fact, I've grown quite accustomed to the look. I have a theory though that certain walks...namely whatever one it is that I have...definately increase the splash factor! I think that the amount of bounce and hip thrust in your walk may be a major contributor. Therefore, my advice - try the straight-back, shuffle walk when sporting khakis...It's difficult, and somewhat unattactive, but it definatley alleviates the sploosh effect!! (Problem: The ridiculous walk may be too great a price to pay!)
I have no relative anecdote to share about my experiences with thongs and khakis...and when I combine sunshine and no wind...I get a bad image in my brain...40 degree days would do that to you. So, instead here's some fun for you.
On average, a 4-year-old child asks 437 questions a day.

The correct response to the Irish greeting, "Top of the morning to you," is "and the rest of the day to yourself."
And know you now...the rest of the story!
