![]() Wigwam Mills Hiking/Outdoor Pro - medium - khaki heather $9.82 I first bought three pairs of these socks in 1997, and I still wear them! I have never had any article of clothing that has shown so little wear for the many hundreds if not a thousand plus miles I've put on these socks. I'm an avid hiker, sometimes product tester (hiking shoes), and just love these "Ultiwear" socks the Wigwam chooses to call: "Ultimax".Wigwam Men's Cool-Lite Hiker Pro Crew Length SockWigwam Men's Cool-Lite Mid Hiker Pro Quarter Length Sock ![]() A Single Step $24.95 Not quite what I expected, but interesting. HM wrote this book just before her marriage to Sir Paul, so there is very little in it about their relationship. Pity. But she tells a compelling story in her own right, from her childhood with an abusive father and bolter mother up through having her leg torn off in a traffic accident, then on again to her being a crusader to distribute prosthetic limbs and ban land mines. (Oh, and she was also a model.) Perhaps a bit of "St. Heather" going on? But her childhood was Dickensian and she lost a pregnancy and she had horrible relationships with all the primary men in her life, including father and stepfather and even perhaps brother plus lovers, and she was for a time homeless and living under bridges. She comes right out at one point and says that she craves money for security. She portrays Paul as a romantic suitor, not at all pushing the status symbols he was entitled to. Had he read her book and fathomed its implications (men, $, and pregnancy), I doubt he would have married her. |
