There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza

The Sunday magazine featured a most foolish device a few weeks back. It was a clear plastic cover for stiletto heels so you could increase the area over which your weight was distributed and thus tread comfortably across sand, grass, floorboards, and other surfaces otherwise perilous to those in stilettos. It annoyed me because the obvious solution, of course, is to stop wearing such stupid shoes that cripple and maim.

In a similar vein, some might argue that the best way to prevent besmirchment of your bedding by troublesome muddy footprints is to forbid your troublesome muddy dog from getting up on the bed. Not so. The best way is to create a cheerful, washable bedspread. Thusly I have explained the project what I mentioned last time.
