This is just the half of it; there’s more. This isn’t even counting the white sock collection, and the ones that were already clean that didn’t need to be sorted…<\/p>\n
(On a side note, you know this blog has gone down hill when I’m blogging ’bout my socks. Don’t you have something more productive to do with your time? Who reads this stuff, anyway!?) <\/em>Maybe this isn’t that many… I think it is. The problem is that they just don’t wear out. There’s not a hole in the whole lot. So, I can’t just throw them away. Heck, I don’t even buy them for myself anymore. 90% of them came as Christmas gifts, anyway, so I can’t really be at fault here, can I?<\/p>\n But this raises the larger question of when to throw out clothes that you don’t need.

The final tier being the trash-can. I kinda follow that system, but it never quite results in things getting thrown out because I’ll work out in just about anything.<\/p>\n You would have thought that moving would have helped me rid my self of some of these, but it didn’t quite work as well as I would have thought.

I think the only comparable feeling to sliding into a fresh pair of never-been-worn socks is that of sliding into freshly-laundered sheets. Especially new hiking socks… man, buy me a pair of Smart Wool and you’ve made me one hell of a happy guy.
