Clark shoes

I just bought a pair of Clark Bendables.  They are beautiful shoes.  I bought my size, 7.5M, and they are a full size too small.  They are made in China, cost close to $100, and they are trash.  Moving the manufacturing base overseas has done nothing for quality nor has it done anything for the economy.  All the cheap crap, and I mean cheap only in the materials and finished product, is shipped over here and dumped on the American people and we like the fools we are, just suck it up.  I am buying American made and I don't care if those shoes cost me $200 or more.  I will pay it.
There a whole slew of shoe and boot makers in the US.  Just google American Made Shoes.  And I will buy from them.  Will it be cost effective?  No.  Will my feet thank me.  Hell yes!  Will it be worth it?  If I can help create a good job for only l citizen, then yes.

Savannah, Georgia

I went to Savannah, Georgia in the week between Christmas and New Years.  I loved it.  The historical district is absolutely beautiful.  The Savannah river flows right through town and I saw the most beautiful sailboat tied up there.  It had to be close to 100 feet long with sails of at least 80 feet.  it was drop dead gorgeous.  We went to a restaurant there and had fried oysters, gator bites and grilled shrimp with hush puppies.

We walked all over the historical district.  I saw the homes used in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.  It is positively the most beautiful city I have ever seen.  Even better than New Orleans.  I am definitely going back several times.  Can't wait till summer.  Two weeks at least.
