The Heat Is On

October 11 on any given day -- put on a pair of long-sleeves, maybe a fleece, shorts, maybe track pants, running shoes. Probably the Oakleys. Jump on the bike, ride fast and hard, iPod plugged in -- warms you up real fast, almost like summer.

Not October 11, 2006. I had a few errands to run in the Clark/Diversey area and had to pull on a pair of jeans, and put together the winter parka. It was nine degrees Celcius, gusty, cold.

It was winter.

There were a few people in denial, such as the Trixie in a North Face fleece but shorty tighty workout shorts, and the big husky dude in T-shirt and shorts. But the fact is, shopping was miserable, I missed riding my bike, and since we don't live in Canada, why are we suffering through this weather?

It's supposed to be four degrees tomorrow with snow showers. We've played softball in such weather before, but not on October 12.

Eh?
