Adapting To Cold

The low last evening was 28 degrees. Fortunately, it is warmer inside Wandrin Wagon where I sleep. No plans to test my survival skills as long as I can afford propane.

That overnight low was the coldest over these past days. Most nights, the low temp was in the mid thirties. Cold enough. The daily highs are a comfortable low to mid sixties.

Recent local temperatures have been about ten degrees colder than average. However, since I am living in actual temperatures rather than historic averages, I have resorted to wearing long pants. Not all the time, but that is the start to most days. However, before heading out on a daily explore, a clothing change is made to shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Wandrin Lloyd has an image to maintain.

A positive is required to deal with this cold weather. In less than two weeks, Wandrin Lloyd will be in Tucson for a three month stay. With Tucson's slightly colder temperatures, these recent temperatures are allowing my adaptation to the colder temperatures. Maybe.

  2. Too bad you are such a die-hard freethinker. You can't appreciate the imagery of the Wandrin' One, wearing real pants for a change, in the frozen desert.

    In an earlier millennium a story of hardship like this would have inspired the religiously-minded, just as St. Anthony (or whoever it was) who sat on a pole in the desert for 30 years.

    But remember, a guy has to be dead first, before the process of canonization can start.
