    On the off chance that Panic erroneously identified TRAIL shoes instead of running shoes, I got to researchin'...

    In my travels, I got to relive NN buying Mr. NN's skivvies at the sporting goods store. Oy.

    Here's my running shoe submission.

    Neither Cl. Panic nor Stillman is correct. I'm looking for running shoes with three colors, not trail shoes with three colors or ordinary sneakers with two colors.

    Hmmm. Well, then these look like your trusty asics.

    Many men are color blind, but it looks like blue, purple and white. But stillman will try to catch me on a periwinkle technicality.

    Christmas Tree Lane is correct!

    MonkeyPig first referenced this on her trip to Oleta.
    Here's the backstory. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, MonkeyPig, Ca Loc, and Nonny Nu went on a road trip to Vegas. We drove Ca Loc's brand new Volvo. On the way home, MonkeyPig wanted to visit Christmas Tree Lane, which was described in her AAA Tour Book as a residential area where the residents have decorated all the trees like Christmas trees all year round. Ca Loc was against it from the start. She already allowed MonkeyPig to drive her car that day and wasn't even going to give in to yet another request from the two brats she was traveling with. Finally, she relented. What promised to be a lighthearted and festive excursion turned out to be a dirt and rock road (basically, off road) in the desert in Ca Loc's brand new car, culminating in a dead end with a few desert cacti "decorated" with paper plates. Ca Loc didn't say one word during the entire off road experience, but her eyes were blazing. When we finally got back to the highway, she immediately took the driving privileges away from MonkeyPig and sped off.

    So that's the story of "Christmas Tree Lane." Whenever someone has a bright travel idea that turns sour, it is very appropriate to say, "Oh, this is Christmas Tree Lane all over again."
