Bare Feet

When I was at the airport Wednesday, I was shocked to see so many people wearing sandals. When you go through security, most of us have to take out shoes off. Why, then, would you wear sandals and have to put your bare feet onto the nasty airport floor where thousands of bare feet have gone before? Gross. I always have socks on when I fly. There's no way my bare feet are touching the airport floor. 

I'm still in New York for another day and having a great time but every time I return to the city, I realize you really can't go home again. This isn't my home anymore. I'm a tourist now.
