Those boots look terrible! black and buffed! not shiny!
I am a Mississippi native. I am actually from Biloxi, 10-15 minutes away from Gulfport. I was born in Biloxi Regional and lived on the beach for most of my life until Hurricane Katrina hit then I moved to Georgia. I hope you enjoy it there, I enjoyed my childhood on the gulf coast, beautiful place.
As for my boots, I thought they were pretty shiny.
I will actually be in Biloxi sometime this month or next, would be nice to meet another player of Aces High and fellow sailor while I am in town.
