What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?

Yes to the bowling shoes. No to the ice skates (I haven't ice skated since 1990).

But the idea of a short term rental of shoes doesn't particularly bother me (though if I did ice skate with any frequency I would quickly buy a pair). Not a rational distinction but it's the way it is.

If it were convenient for me to donate a single pair of shoes every two years or so I'd probably work up the energy to do so, but it isn't, I don't particularly want to do it in the first place, so I don't.

I'm also torn by the conflict between being glad that at least poor African villagers have t-shirts and aghast that they'll be wearing Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl Champions 2010 t-shirts.
