Post 008

The weather for the start of November is rather to my liking.  It's rather chilly for some people, but I think the light chill is rather nice for a change.  There's a few reasons behind this, one having something to do with the girls' dress attire, which, I won't bother discussing, and another being the fact that I can actually stand this type of weather.

You see, people always stand around at this time of year wrapping themselves tightly in their jackets and scarves while shivering and cursing at the weather.  Personally, what I never understood, is how people do any of that.  This is because, as far as I'm concerned, the weather really isn't that cold, and yet people are dressed as if a blizzard is coming.  There are girls wearing boots thick enough for -15 degrees Celsius weather, and jackets fit for -10.  By the way things are going, I'm sure that by the time a blizzard comes around, these people will be dressed in snow suits powered by an electric heater.

In reality, the weather is always a fickle little something.  Mother nature doesn't intend for us to die as we have managed to find ways around that problem, but I think if there's anything to be afraid of, it's not the cold.  It should be the heat.  You see, during the winter, even if it gets slightly cooler, you can still wear an extra shirt/sweater.  In the summer, when it gets any hotter, you can't shed anything else.  That's why it always puzzles me to see everyone dressed as if a snow storm just hit once the thermometer drops below 10 degrees Celsius.  Yes, it's chillier than two weeks ago, but it's not so chilly that we need to be wearing boots and scarves and complaining about the chill.

Winter is good for the world, provided you have winter.  Enjoy it while it lasts.
