Wimping Out

OK—its 95 F (for fucking) degrees, and most pavement get too damn painful to trod barefoot (come back 75 degrees and $2 gas)! What are your upper and lower tolerances (I barefoot snow pretty happily, but ice is a slippery bitch)? Going barefoot feels great, but pleasure slides into pain real fuckin easy. Where’s that shady patch again? You Southerners must think us Northerners just a bunch of (your condescending term here),

 

girls blouse.

 

i don't think i really have an upper limit, because most places i go there's some grass to walk in, and i've never burnt my feet on grass.

 

yeah. just walk faster between the grass.

 

Between the grass? In the grass?

 

We’re a bunch of girls blouses??? New one!

 

between the sections of grass

 

Wouldn’t it be better to walk IN the grass? Why walk between sections??? I’m so confused.

 

I saw two barefooters today at the convenience store. They didn't seem to mind the asphalt.

 

How hot is it where you are?

 

Currently 90°F. Heat index of 100°.

 

Were YOU barefoot? If not, why not?

 

sorry. i just mean.. like if there isn't grass for a while.
there's grass, there's grass...
suddenly you have to walk down some hot road before there is more grass. walk fast.

 

I only barefoot in Spring and Fall. Flip flops in Summer and Shoes in Winter.

 

Barefoot today, and avoiding the pavement. Heat index is more than 100.

 

I keep saying I am going to measure ground temps and find that upper limit. Little breezy right now blowing the heat off surfaces but I put the thermometer in sight and will remember. Tomorrow about 1 o clock parts of the deck should be past my limit and I will measure it.

 

I just took the thermometer outside. Why wait ? The low 120s walking on that no problem. Higher end of the 120s walk don't stop or it burns a bit. Hottest spot 133, that I can walk but stopping and standing that's real uncomfortable. That was the deck. The street, blacktop was 131 and that was worse then the deck. The light concrete was 115 in the sun and 104 in the shade. The metal storm drain in the sun 130, but I guess cause its metal felt hotter.

Without any breeze my guess is I will get readings in the 140s, possibly 150s. I have crossed the deck when its really cooking never got any blisters but got a burn I felt for a wile.Not the get ice kind of burn but it was a burn.

Lost alot of my feet toughness after getting the cool bicycle (barefoot peddles of course) and not hiking around as much. I never walk uptown or to the beach anymore I always ride Its affected my heat tolerance too.

 

In an emergency situation, you can piss on your feet and make a mad dash for safety. The pavement sterilizes your feet and kills any fungus. This has been a message from the Emergency Broadcast and Preparedness Network. Homeland Security wants everybody to stay calm in the heat and be prepared for more to come.

 

Regular barefooters don't have one mycelium of fungus as it hates air and light. You need shoes on to create the proper environment for growth.

Shoe people can't make it 100 yards barefoot on pavement even in ideal conditions without trouble. The tourists at the beach hobbling to their cars, lol. Oh no I stepped on pebble the size of a pea, lol !!

 

Its old cure for toenail fungus.
