Now for a funny. I ordered some first-rate (expensive) long underwear.
They had two types for the coldest weather. I opted for the very
coldest-rated pair. What makes the difference for the warmest? No fly!

Oh that's good!!! I have to say I've been there done that. I ordered a
super warm coat and cant wear it without sweating unless its 0 out. Say I
bet it would be great in a VW. And I ordered wool longjohns and cant wear
them indoors. I certainly overkilled.

The good thing is. If im outside at work. I can holdout longer. I keep my
mouth shut. Everyone thinks I'm freezing like them. But I'm not.

wear a foley?? :-)
