I'm a foot guy, too, and, although I didn't exactly shed tears, I completely understand your feelings. Foot season is coming to an end here too, and it sucks. It's times like this that I wish I lived in Florida, to have at least some foot views year round, because, in say, a place like Miami, even if it gets into the 60s, and 70s in winter, some girls still walk with their feet in sandals.
Alas, it happens every year, and we deal with it. We foot people will all be happy, come, say, next April, when all the female feet will be out in force again, with their pretty polished toenails.
