If I'm wearing socks (other than for working out) it's because I'm freezing. And I get cold when it gets below 85 degrees. Mexpat – Yes, for me it’s when I have to put on SOCKS!

Nice to know that the US was wearing blue during the Mex-Am war and then brown and didn't wear green til much later. We should be Bluegos then, according to my friend's story.
