Colloquy + weather + shoes.

Down in the comments to the "Think.Respect." post, Tim says:

Good morning! Nice weather we're having! Are those new shoes? Anyway, gotta go - I'm late for my "Think. Respect. re-education class."

Have a nice day!

I respond:

I'm sorry, Tim. I'm going to have to report you for calling attention to my shoes, which seems sexist to me. Also, I'm feeling that "Good morning! Nice weather" might be some sort of sly anti-WASP mockery.

MadisonMan responds to me:

It's also patently false.

Fenrisulven's all:

Then you get to go before some board or cmte on hate crimes and prove your innocence. When it's all over, the only thing people will recall is that you were somehow involved in some kind of despicable bigotry.

MadisonMan comes back with:

fenris, I'd go before the board and show the statement "Nice weather we're having" was made on a day in October with rain and temperatures in the 40s. And they'd all agree with me.

And I'm:

Yeah, I took your comment to be about the actual weather here this morning...

And Tim's back with:

Sucks for you all, with promises it will only get worse before the end of March. As for me, it's 52 degrees at 9:45 a.m., with an anticipated high of 82, sunny, humidity at 62% and no wind. It is beautiful.

And, not that I'm tracking this, but I don't recall Ann taking any recent photos of her shoes lately...

So I'll just say...

Here's the weather (from my office window):



And here are the shoes (against my office carpeting):
