Anyone else burn their socks yesterday?
 
Stunk up the fireplace, just for old time's sake.

Boat shoes only 'till fall for some.

Not for me anymore, unfortunately.

You have some strange customs!

Is this a tradition somewhere? Not familiar with it.

I can imagine burning clothing/textiles smells pretty foul though - lots of dyes and stuff.

No, but I burned a mule this morning...

It's a boater's tradition. For me it goes back to boyhood days with gramps in MD. I was never there for it, but he would "share the moment" if he happened to be with us on the first day of spring.

Rite of spring. Live-ons burn their nasty winter socks and go without 'till the fall. The story goes something like that.

I burned an old pair of woolens (trying to minimize chemical hazzards) this year in memory.
