Thanks guys. Her operation went well...guess only time will tell. She makes her living at the keyboard so good healing is important.

Silly me, I never realized that big companies like Carhardt don't bother to trim the loose threads on the insides of the socks they sell...

Thanks for the tip Yaish. I stopped at Four Star boots in Flagstaff on the way home today and they took me by the hand and led me to the Thorlo rack. Just washed two new pair. Gonna try them this weekend up on Mt. Mingus.
