Suspenders
Today is the second day in a row that
I have worn suspenders. Ruth is
alarmed.
Yesterday, it was
to test out my hunting clothes. Clothes that you wear once every hunting season
can be treacherous.
It is not fun to wake at
o-dark-hundred and start to dress, only to find that the clothes do not function
properly. Or are somehow a size
smaller.
Today, it is a
Cowboy Action Shooting match. Suspenders are required to resist the forces
applied by two belts, one holding two revolvers and ammunition, the other
holding a whole box of shotgun
shells.
I find them rather
convenient, but Ruth is taking action to keep me from getting comfortable with
the idea. She said, "You remind me of my Uncle
Richard."
Not the look I'm
hoping for.
