01/07/2004: "Winter"

It's time to hunker down. It got cold and the wind picked up, and it is cutting through everything. The forecast didn't sound so bad when I went out this morning, so I underdressed a bit -- my lightest quilted shirt, my leather jacket, no special ear gear. The flag was standing straight out, and that made the difference. This isn't an exceptionally cold part of the country, but comparative misery is, shall we say, cold comfort. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky: I will endure well enough, but I'm not keen on waiting out the blast.
