The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Like our favorite sheep herder, I need at least 3E and preferably 4E. New Balance is pretty much the only option I've found.

SAS has triple wide. New balance is great,, but sketchers were recommended by hospital staff in the Philippines. They noticed mine and admired them. My wife's BFF is a DOC in the PI and while looking at my charts said the entire staff has sketchers.

they run `$200 plus

[grumpy old man mode on]
I've never paid $200 for a pair of shoes and never will. I remember when you could get a nice pair of good shoes for $50 - $75 if you wanted to splurge.

Don't blame you, when I left the USA they were ~$100. I went through culture shock coming to the the USA, everything was so expensive. During the pandemic the gov gave me half a sack of rice, which we gave to the poor neighbors outside the compound. People watched me walk back and forth on the driveway every day for a half hour every day because we were under orders to stay home. You have to walk early or late in Florida, too hot most of the day.

I wear suspenders now all the time. Don't like belts anymore. I exercise for my metal health too. But there's nothing like a good riot to work you out and get the mind cleared. I think I still have stomping fascists in muscle memory. Pickle ball is a good exercise to keep up your riot skills.
