Just The Toes, Ma'am

So Happy It's Thursday!  I'll be pleased to see this week behind me!

I still need to put the heels on this last pair; I'm running a bit low on the purple so there will be some other purple striping going on there.

In other news - it continues to be super hot and humid here.  I don't remember a time when we've had so much of both in one summer!  We have the AC on somewhere in the house all day long.  It will be weird but nice to open the windows one of these days!

Stay safe and well!

He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way.
