[pct-l] shoestrings *$^#&@

[jmertes at verizon.net (John Mertes)]

I learned this from a Swiss friend years ago and routinely tie my shoes 
this way. Only once in a while will I snag a lace just wrong and then 
have them untie.
The method is simple. First tie your laces in the usual bow knot just 
make sure the bows are a bit long/full. Then take the bows and tie them 
in another simple knot -- one bow loop under the other and pull tight. 
Hope my directions are clear enough for you.
