Oh yeah, seasons. I remember those—vaguely.

It appears that winter—or our version of it, at least—has decided to make a guest appearance in central Texas, with the temperature currently hovering between 30 and 35 degrees, and an expected high of 47 degrees today. I actually had to turn on the heat for the first time ever here. As my winter coats currently reside in Boise, Idaho, and I’ve lacked the good sense to acquire a new one (my abiding philosophy of clothes acquisition has long been that they should magically find their way to me, and I’ve had surprisingly good luck with this), I’ve cobbled together a fairly ridiculous getup in hopes of staying warm when venturing outside (remember Rainbow Brite?). I hope the library temperature isn’t set to “meat locker” today.
