In WInter - wind and rain

I love being out in the wind and rain.

I've climbed Mountains in some ferocious squalls

and never felt more alive.

Good boots, long johns, an old coat and a wooly hat -

and I'm laughing.

In winter

I also try to go absolutely as long as possible

without employing any active heat source in the house.

A good pile of blankets sorts you out in most cases -

as long as the house is dry anyway...

There is nothing more bracing than being outside in crazy, wild weather.

Good Afternoon Jack,
As much as you love the cold....I love the heat. As long as I am by the ocean. And when it hit's over 100 degrees....the ocean is a treat. Always a breeze through your hair and the sun shinning down. Good thing we live where we do...
