SM - Lots of good books from the 40's. That was just a guess based on my knowing that a lot of great movies were made in the 40's.

Send them up North where it's really cold. Who needs shoes where it never get's below 75? FWIW I don't think it was a protest or prank. Imagine how long it would take to collect that many used shoes. That's a lot of leather! I think they fell off a truck probably being driven by an illegal alien that didn't want to stick around. Skipweasel "Soon to be renamed the Imelda Marcos Parkway."

I remember at the height of the beanie baby craze there was a huge truckload of them spilled on the highway.
