Listening to great podcasts like, say, GardenFork Radio, is a challenge when you’re working with your hands.  If you’re like me, the cord is a continual problem.  Nothing is more annoying than having a hoe handle tangle in your headsets and then ripping them from your ears.  I even managed to cut the cord on my dangling headsets once while on my knees planting bushes.They’re a bit pricy, but if you’ve got a Bluetooth phone, then OT’s Tags (reviewed below) are the ticket for snag-free listening while you work.  The earbuds are attached to each other by a soft, cloth-covered, wire (antenna) that loops behind your neck, so when you’re not listening to GardenFork Mike go on and on and on about ice fishing (;->) the “tags” can be twisted and dropped down the front of your shirt..like dog tags, get it?

I’m not going to steal this NPR piece, Ode to My Sturdy Rubber Boots but you should read it…or listen on your OT Tags headsets (above).  The link to the ode is below.

Since I got some really great boots, no job is too trivial to go to the trouble of slipping into them.  I’ve even spotted the more mirror-like finished riding heel Bogs boots at the supermarket.  These Dressage ring boots look good with jeans and hardly anything like my rugged work boots.

Shop around, they’re all over that interwebby thing.
