For Your Health

As summer rolls around again, the New York Times is looking out for us by reminding us to put some damn shoes on. Aren't people in the city supposed to be pretty with-it? I don't think I like the idea that I'm going to be living among 8 million man-children who can't even remember that stuff can be pointy:

"Grass can be sharp enough to cut... said Dr. Hellman."

Personally, I never take off my shoes if I can help it. I like to think of my shoes as where my feet live, and it's just safer for them at home. I know what happened to Calvin Coolidge Jr. That grass can be pretty sharp.
