Walking barefoot on the beach makes me sleep better at night.

Posted on 07/01/2019 6:51:11 PM PDT by SamAdams76

More on my paid blog. But you must be invited. Not just anybody can access my paid blog. So no link here. Sorry.

Seriously though, walking barefoot on the beach does make me sleep much better and deeper. With vivid dreams.

Or maybe it's the salt air. Maybe it has nothing to do with being barefoot. But it does feel good to be out on the beach with no shoes and spending the day sloshing around in the water and then reading books in a lawn chair. This is the way I would like to live more often.

What was Richard Nixon doing wearing dress shoes on the beach. He was doing it all wrong!

I walked barefoot in the deserts of the American West, till I stepped on a bunch of goatheads

Tangle with dog cholla in the Chihuahua desert and that will cure you of barefootitis for life.

I tried it and it really works, I am sleeping much better. Unfortunately, since I live in Kansas, I have to drive down to the Texas Gulf Coast and then drive back. I am losing alot of sleeping time.

If you happen to go to Brownsville, Texas for your barefoot walking on the beach, I have a place for you to crash. Freepmail me. I have an ex-girlfriend who lives there and I’m pretty sure she’s still single.

I eat a lot of olive oil and garlic so I’m protected.

Sam, by all means do bring a flashlight if doing so at night.
Just today, in the ?fake? news, heard that a woman was walking on a Florida beach, stumbled and fell, cutting her foot/leg. She thought nothing of it, kept walking (sometimes in the surf). Two weeks later she died of a flesh eating virus. So be careful and do avoid glass, sharp objects.

This is no joke, even though Lloyd Bridges never seemed to have issues with such a problem. Climate change?

It’s called “grounding”...you can likely get the same effect in your back yard

Yes, "grounding" is a thing. It does sound like hippie-dippie stuff but the human body is electrical and needs to be "discharged" from time to time. Even in winter, I'll go out in my yard for a few minutes in barefeet. Even in snow and ice.

But beware of those indoor mats that certain people peddle. Plug them into the wall and stand on them for a while. I don't think that gives the same grounding that your body needs and it actually exposes you to dangerous electric current from other sources in the house.

They may be unnatural but I like all my toes and if I didn’t wear footwear most of the year, I wouldn’t have any toes left.

There’s nothing to compare to walking on a white sand beach on the Gulf coast watching the sunset. Heaven on earth.

It’s all fun and games until you step on a sea urchin or a man ‘o war.

I wish that dog had bitten the oaf in a very sensitive area. Now that would have made a great (and just) picture.

What was Richard Nixon doing wearing dress shoes on the beach. He was doing it all wrong!

For decades, the Left has been circulating that picture in an apparent effort to portray Nixon as a stuffy, prissy stick-in-the-mud. Perhaps to counter this image, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library used to feature a huge photograph of Nixon dressed in a swimsuit and enjoying a day at a New Jersey beach with his family during his vice presidency.

The Left will never forgive Nixon for exposing Alger Hiss, denying Helen Gahagan Douglas a Senate seat and saving Israel.
