Nobody does anything about it

It is unseasonably cold here in Chicago. When I rose today it was 0°F.

Longjohns Check.
Lined jeans Check.
Sorel boots Check.
Down parka Check.

Ready to walk the dogs.

I’ve got a few more arrows in my quiver: nylon shell leggings and knit doghair vest (warmer than wool). I’m ready for -20°F. Below that…

    Dave, you must have gotten some of those genes (not jeans) from the Ice Man, whose icified mummy was found with his quiver in the Alps. (I think he had a dog hair vest, too…if not, he should have!)

    Good going, you’re more intrepid than most! aj

  • Wouldn’t it be easier to live on St. Thomas or St. John and throw on some shorts?

  • But then what would my dogs sled on?

    Thanks for visiting, Miriam. Love your blog.
