Getting ready for winter

The crisp chill of autumn fills the air.

The deer are rutting. The squirrels are gaining weight. And Rocky went shopping for a new pair of bedroom slippers.

In past years, Rocky’s slippers slipped into the same black hole as his missing unpaired socks and ballpoint pens. This year,  Rocky tried a new tack. A tacky tack. A pair of slippers so thoroughly ugly – that they would not be borrowed; could not be misplaced; and will not be stolen.

Did Rocky mention that they were $3.24 at Target?  (Thank you, China!)

[Disclosures: Rocky believes that the "S-S" refers to Syracuse University, and these slippers are not WWII surplus.  Also, upon viewing Rocky's new footsie-tootsie, Trophy Wife was left speechless. The small white dot on the right slipper are the stubborn remains of a price tag, and it does not interfere with comfort or functionality.]
