FROM HEEL TO TOE!

                FROM HEEL TO TOE!

       I have discovered another unusual 

"holiday." Turns out that January 23rd.,

is "Measure Your Feet Day!" No one

seems to know who came up with this

bizarre holiday or, perhaps more

interestingly, why! It does bring back

some memories from my visits to

various shoe stores when I placed

my feet on what is known as a

"Brannock Device" on which both

the length and width of said feet

were measured. If I think back

far enough I can even recall

trying on new shoes for size 

and slipping both feet into a

fluoroscope that allowed me

to see those feet, and even my

foot bones, inside the shoes.

That was a lot of fun for us

kids until someone decided

that exposing our feet to Xrays

probably wasn't such a great idea!

In any case since this is "Measure

You Feet Day" the only thing I

can suggest to observe the

occasion is to get out the tape

measure and go to work! I suppose

it's better than putting your foot in

your mouth! Hope you get the

proper measurements and that

all your NEWS is good!
