Aw, Gary! I adore you. Okay, Michael, who is a walking toaster oven, wouldn't wear shorts outside in this weather. i feel cold all the time. To the store i wore thick trousers (jeans are useless in the cold, cotton does not keep you warm) a turtleneck shirt, then a flannel shirt over that and then a hat, scarf, gloves, parka and boots. I had my ear mitts with me, but it wasn't windy, so i didn't need them. I'm still in the same clothes except for the flannel shirt. i have on socks and slippers, i'm covered up with my home knitted scrap blanket and i have a hot cup of tea. The heat is on too. Inside, Michael would be in a cotton t-shirt and a pair of thin shorts, no socks. However, now and then He will say he feels cool. LOL.
