Happy
Evacuation Day everyone!!! On March 17, 1776, British forces retreated from Boston during the American Revolutionary War. It was the end of an 11-month siege when the Continental Army, under the direction of General George Washington, secured Dorchester Heights and forced the British to retreat all the way north to Nova Scotia. Suffolk County, in which Boston lies, has celebrated the holiday since 1901. Government offices are closed, and schools are not in session. Although not in Suffolk County, public schools in Cambridge and Somerville are also closed for the holiday. If March 17th falls over a weekend, the following Monday is the officially observed holiday.
Oh yeah, Boston has a large Irish population if you didn't know. Afterall... while it would be wrong to declare a government holiday for a religious figure who is the patron saint of another country, it is perfect acceptable to celebrate recapturing the city of Boston from a bunch of English blokes during the Revolutionary War especially if it coincides with another, more famous, celebration. And if you can get a day off and drink your face off in the process, so much the better.
As you can see... my feet are approximately 10 inches long.
My feet are about 4 1/2 to 5 inches wide.
Here is a profile picture. I don't know if it helps you to see my arch and instep.
