I bought a new pair of hiking boots. My old boots had holes in them. It got to the point where I could feel blades of grass shooting through the bottoms. I'd take my shoes off and my socks would be caked in dust. I'd been meaning to buy new shoes but hadn't gotten around to it. Shopping is not at the top of my list.
Today's shoes are on the ugly side. I mean they have a lot of personality. Bright colors, stripes for stripe's sake. Even the plain basic shoes are strange looking to me.
I found a pair of shoes that fit. The sizing has changed some as well. Either that or my feet have grown. Anyway, long story short, I got to the cash register and was paying for the shoes when the cashier asked me for my email address. The store wanted to send me coupons via email and notify me of upcoming sales events.
"No thank you," I said.
I was in the parking lot when I thought about the email question. What if the next time someone asked me for my email address I told them that I didn't have email. I made myself laugh. I'd love to see the look on their face when I told them that.
