You brought the Barrio to life with this one, Victor. Quite a diverse cast of characters. I particularly liked the last line.

"Anyone can reach the top of their soles." Love that. Clever and playful story Victor.

Thank you, Jim. As I mentioned in another comment, it's possible I had an attack of silly one night. It happens, sometimes.....and sorry for the delay, been offline for a few days... that happens sometimes, too.

Best story that is ostensibly about footwear that I have read in quite a while, Victor. This was a fun ride!

Thank you, Mike. I might have had a little silly water in me at the time....

"...the lizard store..." "...scratched lenses of skepticism..." "...a lost lug nut..." I love these images, Victor. And especially this:

"Before you buy, I’m just asking you to be careful of the stuff you think you need." Amen to that.

Indeed. Seems we're bombarded daily to buy stuff we [may] not need. :) Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, Sharron. Now I better go feed my lizard....
