Winter Winners

November 6 - Just to note since I'm back-posting.  You can see I'm not doing very well on using less pictures and more words.  But Joey helped me with my little file-size-glitch by upgrading me to google plus.  YEH!  



     To start February posts I must note an interesting cultural winter experience here in Moscow. Many places hand out these little fabric blue booties that go over your shoes as you enter a building. This is in an attempt to keep the winter muck off the nice clean floors inside. Not that it works really, but still it is an attempt.  The orthodontist office has taken it one step further to assist you in putting these little winners on. Just as you enter you step your foot into this little machine and as you pull it out you bring the footie onto your shoe and with the elastic it gets pulled snuggly around your foot. The machine then resets with another bootie for the next foot. Whoever took the time to think this one up... what an invention! It worked about half the time but gave the security man an added dimension to his duties as he constantly had to “service” the machine, resetting it to work. Perhaps another reason why orthodontics are so expensive… to pay for fancy gadget machines like this!
