Say you are standing outside in some place like Naples, Florida. Naturally, you are wearing shorts and a palm tree-laden short sleeved shirt. Probably sandals.
And it is 40 frickin' degrees.
In your frame of reference, you are freezing your ass off and feeling incredibly stupid for moving there. Of course, you are anxious to tell everyone over the nearest sidewalk, phone, email or even blog.
Then you get an email from a couple friends back in Pittsburgh and maybe Rochester, NY, who laugh at you (LOL is the term they used). And remind you it's 10 degrees where they still are and the white stuff up to their knees isn't sand.
Suddenly, you realize that Einstein and your own move were pretty damned smart after all. The choice of outfit, not so much.

Yes, it's all relative. I know that shirt you are talking about, and shorts? Did you move long pants down there?
ReplyDeleteI moved lots of slacks with me, assuming I'd wear them on trips to, like, Alaska or Iceland, not the damned beach.
