It seems I can't go outside without someone making a comment on how I'm dressed. I'd go without a jacket altogether if it weren't for hiding my short sleeve shirt.
"Hey man", says one guy, "You ever look at a calendar?"
It takes a lot of will power to keep from saying, "Are those sneakers you wearin' or frostbite?"
Thank you and good day.
Do you know if they are Liberal or Conservative? That way we could have a good discussion about it.
I would guess they were liberals because they were worried about Mark's health.

Small talk is right, but hey, I'll bite. ;-)
Well, depends on the weather. It's ~10ºF here today, with a nasty wind, & it's snowing - creating white-outs. Anyone not wearing a jacket would have to be nuts. Anyone without gloves would be nuts, too, IMO. (And a bunch of the kids in my room had no mittens or gloves w/them today, despite the wind chill being well below 0F this morning.)

I live 30 miles from Mark. It got up to a whopping 16 degrees here today... Even *I* don't go out without a jacket on days like this, and I'll wear nothing but a log-sleeve shirt as a jacket until December!
Not as bad as one guy I saw wearing shorts, a t-shirt and sandals today...Endless Summer?
It was 6 deg F out here in NJ today and my HS kid (a boy) finally put on a coat without me asking for the first time this winter. It was the single digits that did it. Tomes
Poor guy. Maybe his wife through him out of the house. Did it look like he had his wallet with him?
Hachi, about your advice about "drive" the Prius... My fuel efficiency has dropped like a bathtub filled with water in a condemned building. I am not happy.
The Commission on Global Warming canceled this weeks scheduled meetings at the UN, because of the sub Zero temperatures in New York city. LOL

They went to see Al Bore's movie, instead....
The theater was subject to 'human' warming....
I hear that Al bore flys around in a private jet to promote his global warming flick burning fossll fuel in the process.
Thanks for stepping on my toes. I burn kerosene too but it's much cleaner than #2 oil. And I use much less of the stuff compared to when I did burn #2. My system is vented but 98% of the heat normally lost is recaptured. A similar system using #2 is good too but it requires a lot more maintenance. Another similar system uses natural gas or propane, is the cleanest of the three, and I just might switch to it when the two heaters I have bite the dust. I don't see that happening anytime soon. I've had them for 15 years and the only part that needed to be replaced was a variable speed intake manifold blower. Bearings went bad.
Quite alright,
Oh yes, I've got a kerosene heater in my shop. It's very clean burning. I have to be careful not to use anything other than clear kero otherwise I will need to replace wick often. I looked at the propane, but decided it would be more expensive.
I use a comforter....
Bet my 'carbon' footprint is less than both of you guys....
It helps to be in Florida, LOL.
And the temp there today is...?
Cathy
LOL...I do have an unfair advantage in the winter time...
It is pretty chilly..... 59....
Awww, poor man... :-P
At 59F you use a comforter?!? (That's summer blanket time!)
Cathy
Well just a sheet at 59, but any lower....LOL
