Stupid axial tilt

[avram]

There must be something wrong with my brain. Six months is long enough for me to totally forget how to dress for the weather. Well, OK, not totally. Today’s 60°F is clearly not warm enough for just a t-shirt and shorts, and it’s not cold enough for a full parka, but I’ve not much notion of what stage in between is comfortable.

This happened back when the weather was getting hotter, too. It takes me a couple weeks to recalibrate my weather-to-dress sense. Do normal people have this problem?

Hm. I think I can get away with the sandals for another ten degrees or so.

It does seem strange to have to think about wraps after several months of getting along fine without.

A light sweater or jacket? Maybe even just long-sleeved shirt if it's sunny and not windy.

The problem is that the weather varies, especially in spring and fall. What's comfortable when you leave the house in the morning may not suit what it's like when you leave work. And I can't wear long sleeves to work because it's too [expletive deleted] hot in here most of the time.

Today, here, for example, it went down into the 30s overnight -- weather that makes you think about the parka -- but the high will be near 60, when a sweater should be sufficient.

I don't know about normal people but I do.

This is why I usually wear layers of clothing in the spring and fall. Too hot? Take something off. Too cold? Add something. Sweaters, scarves and hats are epecially useful for this.
As for the sandals -- the Arab immigrants in my neighborhood wear sandals year-round. Even in January. I'm not kidding!

I bet you could get away with sandals for longer than that. And now that you do barbaric things to your hair, people would still be able to tell us apart even if they don't spot you eating cheese.

A black corduroy barn jacket with an applique pteranodon is appropriate.

I get two serious cold/flu things every year. One in the fall when I wear too light clothing after I should, and one in the spring when I try to go without a coat too early. It never fails.
