Short story: friend of friend. Woman decides she wants to get married. Wants a mate that wants to stay married. Decides that a single or divorced guy is too risky. Tells all her friends (this is pre-internet days) that she wants to marry a widower within certain perimeters. Within a year, just by asking, has been introduced to the man of her dreams and is engaged.

Committing to olive as this year's neutral. A bad choice if the world is trending toward a bluer green. Oh well...know what you want, not what Madison Ave wants you to want. ISO of a pair of washable silky olive cargo pants that can dress up or down. Must not be cropped, a reasonable full length in-seam since I wear mostly flats and ankle pants just look dumb. Extra bonus points if it goes with my new NAS Aquatalia short black boots.

Those who shop, have you seen my elusive dream pant? Must be mail-orderable and returnable as the nearest mall is 150 miles from home...the UPS driver is - if not first name basis with my animals - knows when something new has shown at the ranch. These pants will be for date night and travel capsule, not cleaning pens.
