and as many saldal wearers know, unless you take good care of your feet, they can get dry, cracked and downright ugly.

Anyway, I drifted off to sleep and when I woke up to him sitting there with his shoes off, picking at the skin on his bare feet. It didn't help that while I was trying to distract myself, I pulled out my computer, I kept finding him looking over my shoulder at the screen to see what I was doing. I was feeling very trapped by it all.

The worst part about it was that he was hearing impaired. (He and his wife both spoke in sign language throughout the flight.) I didn't know how to communicate with him (kindly) that I didn't appreciate the view of his crusty feet.
