These are cute flats in green with brown trim and cute brass studs. The kitten heel is very comfortable and I like the quirky shape of the shoe (not entirely shown by the picture, but I'm sure I'll wear and post about these again someday). I recently bought another pair in black on eBay, but they are too small, so I am currently re-selling them. That means that if you wear size 8 (not 8.5) and want a pair of these in black, get thee to eBAY, stat. The price is right.
The only downside to these shoes, from the standpoint of someone who is a college professor, is that they make a lot of noise walking in tiled corridors and classrooms. But that has its pluses, too.
About 10 miles before Meridian, the front right tire blows out. Not a good feeling! 55 people, 8:00pm, raining on and off. When bus pulls off on shoulder, one woman starts screaming "THIS BUS IS ON FIRE!! LET ME OFF!!". Once she is off the bus, other passengers want off to smoke. At first, driver won't let them...says it isn't safe where we are. Eventually, they win. Bus half empty. Girl sitting next to me asks if I can watch her purse! She doesn't know me from Adam! Elapsed time.....2 hours.

The historic district comprised of Flat Top Estate, now Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, is significant at the state level under National Register Criterion A as an example of a Country Place era estate. At Flat Top, Moses Cone established a gentleman's country retreat in the style of those established by American captains of industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The historic district is one of the largest and best preserved country estates in western North Carolina, incorporating a large manor house surrounded by orchards, pastures, meadows, lakes and other constructed water features, roads, and forests. The historic district is also significant at a state level under National Register Criterion B in the area of industry for its historic association with Moses Cone, who revolutionized textile manufacturing in the South, and particularly in North Carolina, during the late nineteenth century. In partnership with his brother Ceasar, Moses Cone reorganized the marketing of textiles by southern textile mills and introduced the manufacture of denim in the South. The entrepreneurial efforts of Moses Cone during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries throughout the southeast region affected this industry throughout the country. The historic district is nationally significant under National Register Criterion C in the area of landscape architecture for the planning of the estate, in particular the extensive network of carriage roads and associated plantings designed by Moses Cone. The carriage roads are among very few such systems in private estates ofthis period in this country; represent extensive and careful design and planning; and remain nearly intact today. The historic district also includes the Colonial Revival style manor house, significant at the state level in the area of Architecture. The association of the Flat Top Estate Historic District with the Blue Ridge Parkway, and its role as a recreational area along the parkway, are not considered as part of this nomination. The structures of Flat Top Estate are closely related to the surrounding environment. Archeological remains, such as trash pits, privies, wells, and other structural remains which may be present, can provide information valuable to the understanding and interpretation of the contributing structures. Information concerning land-use patterns, agricultural practices, social standing and social mobility, as well as structural details, is often only evident in the archeological record. Therefore, archeological remains may well be an important component of the significance of the structures. At this time very limited investigation has been done to discover these remains, but it is likely that they exist, and this should be considered in any development of the property.
Rocky Flats is the site of a former nuclear weapons component manufacturing facility which operated just west of Denver from 1952 to 1988. Accidents, chemical release incidents, hazardous working conditions and contamination of the local ground and water plagued the faciity, which manufactured plutonium bomb triggers, eventually leading to its closure. In the 1990's a costly cleanup and remediation effort was initiated which led to the complete disassembly of the facility. In 2006 the EPA certified the cleanup efforts, paving the way forward to declaring the site a wildlife sanctuary.
Today, it stands as the "Rocky Flats Closure Project" and little more than the power substations and this shiny new sign stand as testament to the awesome power once harnessed at this facility. Regardless of the accidents, the mistakes and the egregious disregard for public safety, the components manufactured here were critical to the success of the most powerful weapon systems ever conceived. Five decades of sunsets have fallen on Rocky Flats and while nothing remains of the buildings that used to house exotic toxic materials and the brain trust that was contracted to transform it into something even deadlier it's legacy will remain, despite the sanitized site name and the complete erasure of its physical presence.
Well, he will be if he doesn't behave......

Tortilla Flat is Arizona's smallest town. It is hidden in a canyon along the Apache Trail just east of Canyon Lake.
Originally Tortilla Flat was a camping ground for the prospectors who searched for gold in the Superstition Mountains in the mid to late 1800s. In 1904 it became a freight camp for workers and freight haulers on their way to the construction site of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. A flood in 1942 badly damaged the town, resulting in many residents moving away. Today Tortilla Flat is made up primarily of a small store and restaurant, which were constructed in the late 1980s after a fire consumed the existing store and restaurant on the same site. Several hiking trails into the Superstition Mountains begin near Tortilla Flat.
In the early 1900s, Tortilla Flat was a stage stop for tourists on their way to see the Roosevelt dam.
The name "Tortilla Flat" originated from the cowboys who used to drive cattle from Globe to Phoenix. While in Phoenix, rancher Mr. Cline, and his fellow cowboys celebrated their sale, and, having a little too much to drink, forgot to get supplies while they were in town. Which is how they ended up with only flour to make tortillas when they camped at the flat and were stranded.

The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and one of only two skyscrapers north of 14th Street – the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. The building sits on a triangular island-block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. As with numerous other wedge-shaped buildings, the name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron.
