One of our little family
obsessions games is finding shoes on the side of the road. Just kind of a road game that The Mister and I play as we drive along wherein we see a shoe and scream "SHOE!". Maybe not so much a game as a thing we do. I brought it to the marriage.
I have noticed for years that people seem to lose an absurd amount of shoes either in or along side of the road. It baffles me. I mean, I can understand the occasional flip flop flying off of a foot propped out the car window, but often times I see shiny dress shoes, nice looking tennis shoes or boots. How IN THE LOVE do you lose a tie on dress shoe while driving down the road? I think I started yelling out "SHOE" just so I would know that I wasn't the only one seeing these things. Once I saw a whole gaggle of shoes in the road, like 10 in a pile. It's like they were there
just for me.
I have long thought about what a great coffee table book this would make. At least to me. But maybe I'm the only one who notices this phenomenon. Also, I often spot these shoes on the side of interstates and the photography would prove difficult and dangerous in the best of conditions. I did make a point for a couple of weeks a while back to stop and photograph shoes that were in a safe and reasonable place. It didn't take long to collect quite a few photos.

We once found a man's boxers on the street in front of our house, not mine nor my son's. That was indeed very confusing.
