Folded laundry. Lost another sock to a bigass hole in the sole. I don't know how to darn things and I think this sock was beyond salvaging anyway, so I Googled 'eco-friendly socks' and apparently Parker Legwear is the official socks of the Sierra Club? So well-recommended, and I bought six pairs in black and dark blue. Let's hope they're comfy.
