It seems clog making was a very common occupation for men. I never would have guessed myself. The author is putting together the life of one man from public records. It wasn't the best paying job and there was a lot of competition. Farming wasn't feasible in this area due to rocks and forests.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-10579522844916013902011-06-11T15:19:22.958-03:002011-06-11T15:19:22.958-03:00Oh yes, now that I know your work a bit better I c...Oh yes, now that I know your work a bit better I can imagine what the piece will be.

They were actually pretty comfortable, actually, the only problem was they had absolutely NO traction at all. Wet grass and clogs = flat on face. And snow, oh dear, even worse!Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-3897611042570237172011-06-10T09:53:20.969-03:002011-06-10T09:53:20.969-03:00I'm always puzzled by clogs.
