No socks??! :0 That never occured to me, haha. My sock drawer is different according to the season. I grew up in the Ottawa region, where it gets really hot in summer (30+ celcius) and really cold in winter (-20-30 celcius on occasion).

(Wisconsin natives could not comprehend spending decades of life not owning socks; anyone from a hot climate struggles to understand owning an entire drawer of same).

Yes. What are socks? When I was 18, I had packed for a summer abroad and while staring at my luggage in the middle of the night before by 8am flight, I realized I hadn't packed socks. Because I didn't own socks. God bless the 24-hr walmart. I made a 1am purchase of socks, finished packing my bag, and slept a few hours before my flight that morning.

I now own socks. They are probably all full of old shot elastic... I dunno, I never wear them. But I have them!
