I like to peruse eBay from time to time.. just looking for strange stuff. If you read my newspaper column every week you'll know I have a "strange item of the week", every week.

I was sitting in our new church building without heat and just my fit flops (you know these shoes) freezing my toes off.. when I thought, "Hey I wonder what a pair of expensive socks goes for… and I found these. Check them out.. you'll be amazed. 🙂
