| I actually brought a hat to work today, first time this year.
Still not sure I'm going to actually wear it, though.
If it gets any colder I'm going to have to dress like I would for a day fishing in November!

Location: West Chester, OH | About 20 years ago, the wife & I took a winter trip to Eagle River. The morning we were to leave, temperature close to zero, our "southern" car, a pre-fuel injection Olds, wouldn't fire. I had the hood up in the motel parking lot & was giving it a good snort of ether, when a motel employee, wearing a short sleeved shirt, strolls out toward the dumpster carrying trash bags. He laughs as he sees what I'm doing & asks "What would you do if it really got cold?" |
