Ridiculousness

The Today Show is on as we go about our morning routine. This morning they are airing from Ireland in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
There is a feature on about Irish step-dancing. A dancer is teaching Al Roker and Meredith Viera some steps, which involve a lot of fast footwork and hopping. This is nice, so what is ridiculous about it?

Meredith is doing this in five-inch high stilleto boots. Sorry, but I find that just crazy!

Amen! I saw that segment and I don't know how she even stands in those boots, let alone dances in them!
I'm loving all the views of Ireland. Did you see the shepherd at work? Beautiful!

Yes, the views are beautiful and I love seeing the farmers and shepherds at work.
A few years ago a friend and I drove around the Irish countryside in a tiny rented car. We took the narrow country roads and visited out-of-the-way places. It was wonderful! We visited pubs with dogs lying by the fireplaces, and saw farmers with their Border Collies. We got lost a couple of times and local people stopped to help us out. One lady even invited us in for tea! I found the scenery breathtaking and the people delightful.
