The main occupation of the residents of the very large town that I grew up in was that of underwater explorers — Recreational Divers, Technical Divers, Commercial Divers, Scientific Divers, Military Divers, Free Divers, Professional Divers, Cave Divers, Wreck Divers, Ice Divers, Search and Rescue Divers, Open Water Divers, Advanced Open Water Divers, Rescue Divers, Master Scuba Divers. There were so many different kinds that I guess you could say it was a diver city.

I’m not too far off. I’ve got two pairs black dress shoes, two pairs brown dress, pair of grey dress shoes. And one pair of brown leather shoes that are nice but less dressy.

Casual shoes: four pairs of sneakers (one pair needs to go), pair of driving shoes, beach sandals. And another pair of sandals I don’t love, haven’t worn in forever, should toss.

Work shoes: old sneakers for yard work, snow boots, and a really old pair of Doc Martens I should toss.
