1) I would give paella advice but I've never even succeeded at risotto. You are made of sterner stuff than I. 2) Imgur strips the shit out of EXIF data. 3) Carolina. American made, leather and rubber. I bought my first pair of Carolina 116s in 1991. I resoled them twice and probably hiked 100 miles in them. I replaced them in 2005 because I hadn't been keeping up on the leather cream and they cracked and when I patched the hole with shoe goo it made an annoying bump that rubbed my foot too much. I've resoled the 2nd pair once so far. It's been through three misadventures on motorcycles. 4) Your friends and family keep telling you that your life will be turned upside down but no, not really. You'll have a dependent. The impact of children on lives is greatly exaggerated. Congrats!
