of rubber boots lately? My old go-to-garden, wet day boots have about had it. I was browsing through Cabelas catalog for a pair and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! My old ones are only 4 years old, but to replace them will cost me a week of egg money. The standard of living and wages must be on the rise in China. I thought maybe $50 , but no such luck. Guess I'll go back to going bare footed in the mud and save my shoes for Sunday like I did as a kid.
