What is it with you folks from Buffalo? I thought you were acclimated to cooler climes.

I worked a HS varsity softball game with a colleague who hailed from Buffalo. Temps were around 50, but the wind was blowing with 25 mph gusts towards home. He had the bases, and not only did he layer up with about five layers, he also wore black ski gloves and a black knit cap that covered everything but his eyes. I was surprised he could move out there.

Two things:

1. I may have actually become acclimated to the warm weather in Louisiana.

2. I am just getting freaking old and maybe I used up all my body heat from my younger days in Buffalo.

I can remember when I first moved to NYC to work. I would laugh when it got 40degrees and all the fur coats came out and I would just wear a sports jacket. Thirty years later and I am the one that needs the fur coat. Life is funny.

NW Ohio: double windbreakers and gloves on 4/6; polo shirt and sunscreen on 4/9. It is here where the next ice age will refreeze the melting polar ice cap.
