    Manolo’s Shoe Blog: Shoes, Fashion, Celebrity, and Manolo! The Manolo has posted a shocking image: not only does the middling-bad President Bush wear Crocs, he commits the sin of wearing dark Crocs with dark socks.

    Storm? What storm? | Chicago Tribune Before taking off for dinner, David and I pulled all the patio chairs off to the side of the house and secured some lighter things so they wouldn’t blow around. I stuck the last few unplanted plants in the ground in the “kitty garden” and along the side of the house. The wind had been blowing hard all day, but it was hot and humid, a very weird and unsettling sensation. All through dinner, we watched people out on an outside terrace eating their dinners while clutching their hair and belongings to keep them…
