Boots: These boots were made for walking, and I do a lot of it. It’s another rainy day in Podgorica—but it could be worse. There were suggestions of snow earlier in the week. The only thing worse than wet feet are cold and wet feet. I owe my bride a sincere “thank you” for convincing me to get these boots! They’re waterproof, lightweight, resist the shock of walking, and offer ankle protection. They're also the sort of shoes I never wear and they feel a little bulky. I wear a size 9.5—my feet aren’t that big—but the style of the boots makes them stick out.

After noticing how dirty they had become, I gave them a cleaning. Recognize Mr. Proper? I’m not sure why Proctor and Gamble changed Mr. Clean to Mr. Proper. Perhaps “Proper” can translate better from country to country much easier than “Clean” could? (But who’s going to expect a bald guy in a white shirt, no matter the name, to know anything about cleaning?) I only used Mr. Proper to clean only the rubber sole.
