This morn my feet hurt so I had to go home and get a pair of elastic cloth shoes even if the heels were not as sensible and the soles too thin for a cement floor.  So once more I had to temporarily abandon health shoes again!  But my new plow shoes feel fine now.
This noon Fred wasn't at the shop and Irish took me down town.  While I was waiting I talked with Morgan.  His wife misses the boy so much and he seemed to feel pretty bad too.  The boy's wife was out at Cheyenne for a month, had an OK job and could see him but she decided
