Thanks John. The shoe thing just crept up on me somehow, I have to admit that I have 3 pr of hiking type boots (good sensible shoes and my favorites), 4 pr of riding boots (my second favorites), the rest, well, are "work" or party shoes. Why there are so many? Like I said, they just sort of accumulate, even with those of us that are pretty sensible, so go easy on your dear wife. I expect she can counter with a quick calculation on the number of guns, from what I have observed with a number of friends, those accumulate pretty quickly too.
