Although, between you and me, in 8 degrees, the loins are pretty self-girding.

Days like this the gas mileage on my hybrid goes way down.

(6,609 posts)Oh wait... no rich person will be out in such weather. That is what the peons are for! They get to go into their heated garages and drive their nice warm cars to another heated garage where they are escorted to their nice palatial offices... assuming that they go to something like a job at all.
I apologize... I am just really over inequity in our society. What is the most infuriating is that it all could change, we just don't seem to want it to.

Luckily, there's no wind to go with it. But the furnace is pumping -- can't wait to see the oil bill.

Got a heated vest (Ororo is the brand)
Game changer.
It does not, however, reach the loins
