Hunting Boots

After tromping around the woods all fall and so far in this winter (looking for deer and balsam!), I've luckily avoided the dreaded frostbite with a very simple idea - keep the feet moving to keep the blood circulating them!  All it takes are footwear that don't restrict your foot's natural movement and a good warm sock.  This company has some different offerings, but when I found their hunting boots, I was sold!  They're so quiet the deer will never again hear me coming.

Balsam Fir Christmas Wreaths

A lot of people don't live in an area where they have the luxury of going out into their backyard and hacking down a fine fir or spruce for their christmas tree. I'm talking mostly about the people in the west or the south, these trees simply do not grow there. To get the good stuff, you have to go where the temperatures are frigid because that's where they thrive. So a common substitute for having a christmas tree in the living room (which is very difficult to truck around and transport to your home and setup) is to hang a christmas wreath instead! Same pine needles, which will shed if you have a natural wreath but a fraction of the hassle. Of course the natural aroma of Balsam Fir will fill your room giving it that christmasy feel.

TCQ

Yeah, the scenario, a classic from a classsic new york rap group - a tribe called quest. Stay tuned for some enlightened waxing of eloquence.
