This rim of slimy, caked-on adobe mud is virtually part of the shoe now. It's slippery, like oily dog poo, and clings like hot tar. When it dries out, I should be able to smack the soles against each other, sending dried mudcakes everywhere. I grew up getting filthy in the woods of NJ, but you could always get all but the stains of dirt off of anything pretty easily. It was more like potting soil. This LA stuff is more like clumpy motor oil. No wonder they don't like nature here. If I grew up getting this stuff all over me, I'd be ready to pave over it all, too.
