Becoming Bismarck?

A strange thing happened to me today, right after yesterday's experience of nearly losing my ears to frostbite. I was walking up to the door of my little economy on the Prairie and I stopped , for just a second, and thought to myself; it's rather pleasant out here. Not very cold at all. It was 23 degrees outside, what is happening to me?

A Little Nippy In Bismarck

Good driving to work weather.  Love it.

I went for a little walk yesterday, just a short one to go read a plaque on the side of the road.  Less than a quarter mile.  By the time I came upon the plaque I knew I had made a terrible mistake not to don my hat.  The breeze picked up and my ears went from burning cold to numb.  Removing my gloves and cupping my ears I hurried back to the car, the longest quarter mile ever.  Lesson learned.  Never leave the warm embrace of those states whose borders touch on Mexico or the Gulf of Mexico.
