the high today was 18.
that's pretty cold.
not biting and painfully cold,
but close.
i'll save the words 'biting' and 'painful'
for those days that never do make it above zero.
i really enjoy seeing the thick clouds of breath and car exhaust
that appear when the air gets this cold.
there's something very familiar and constant about it.
i'm starting my tenth month without a car
and still enjoying it.
mostly.
i've not been brave enough to bike the last couple weeks
but the bus is kind enough to take me where i need to go.
i should get a better coat and some goggles
and then i'll be set.
i'm really not up for biking with stinging, watery
and eventually frozen eyeballs.

yeah, i'm too much of a wimp to bike in the texas cold, which is probably about 30 degrees warmer than your kind of cold. i'd like to do it, but i don't really know how to bundle up on a bike.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your ten month anniversary, you are brave to public transport it in mpls.
ReplyDeletehappy late thanksgiving
If you get goggles, it is mandatory that you post pictures of you wearing them.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely stick to the bus. Just make sure to get some sweet goggles anyway. ha ha.
How is the money end of public transit working out?
I like where jamie's headed with this.
ReplyDeleteYes, get the goggles.
Wear them on the bus.
And take pictures of it.
