Flip Flops

I was in New York City yesterday for a meeting. The streets were filled with tourists of all shapes, sizes and nationalities.

There was one commonality among all of them. Flip flops! What is it with these things that makes them so popular, ubiquitous and sometimes dangerous.

A young woman was visiting a high falls in my home area recently and was wearing flip flops. She stepped to the edge of the precipice to take a picture and her flip flops slipped on the rocks and she fell to her death.

To me you don't hike, trek, or walk the streets of New York City in flip flops. Flip flops are for around the house, pool or yard. Come'on people who wants to see your toes anyway.
