Random musings from a Michigan boy-
It’s mid-April now. So why the heck did we just get two days of freezing rain and then snow? To top things off, it’s tax day. Ugggg, I can hear the collective groans and moans around the country as people write checks to Uncle Sam.
That’s not what my rant is about (though global warming I could rant on forever), actually, it isn’t a rant, but an observation. Few of us who take a trip into town in our vehicles wear heavy enough clothing. We dress very differently when we know the heater is going to be on full blast and heavy clothing would make us sweat. A quick run into the post office in a sweater and hoodie is nothing on thirty degree days.
What if you broke down? Do you keep an extra winter jacket in the car? Hats? Gloves? What about your kids? Snow pants or snowmobile suits? Extra socks, boots? What happened if you had to walk home over the course of a couple miles in the clothing you wore out this morning? I’m willing to bet that most people would be darn uncomfortable at best or put themselves at risk at worst.
