Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

They are called naturalists now, even in Alaska.

Hey, nude hikers, what about the bugs?

"Nude gravel rash" ???

Sidebar here. About 20 years ago we didn't have a McDonalds. So when people flew to Juneau (a 30 minute flight) they would buy a bunch of McDonalds and bring it home on the way back. Now most Sitkan's don't eat at McDonalds when they're south because that's the only burger joint we have! LOL

The other big thing is people bringing home Krispy Kreme donuts. That would almost make the news! LOL

Mmmmm. Krispy Kreme.

Down comforter. Light weight and very wsrmy.

Same with down jackets .

Always welcome more wool. Wool stays warm even when wet. Some folks can't stand wearing - or even touching - wool. I'm not among the wool haters.

Am among the poor circulation people.

Coors and Krispy Kreme are kind of the same thing to me. Though I would eat a Krispy Kreme before I drank a Coors.

Actually the pic was captioned "seen in Alaska", but it didn't copy.

Coors was terrific-when it was a novelty. Now I drink porters/stouts.(not with Krispy Kreme. Although......, hmmm.) BTW, it's possible to buy a K.K. franchise.

For me, all winters are particularly cold, just that some are more so than others...............

The older I get, the colder winter gets. I am starting to understand why “old” people move to Florida.

I will never understand why.....

Then again my fair skin, intolerance of humidity and ability to attract man eating bugs from a distance of 15 miles at any time day or night, does predispose me toward a dislike of the place.....

That's funny. A while back, I had it in mind to keep my feet warm when winter fishing. I bought Merino wool socks but had to give them away. They were itchy, heavy, hot and made my feet sweat. No "wicking" socks would work for me, only thin, cotton sport socks and I can't do the laces up on shoes. My feet have to breathe!

Maybe electric socks. Like an electric blanket but battery based.

I can tell you about compression socks. Also good if you travel. Runners have all sorts of compression clothing. I don’t do running, just walking.

Not something you want if you fall overboard.

Since Florida will be under water soon, California is a great place to stay warm. And, it's getting warmer by the day. Also, lots of desert available if you want to turn yourself into human jerky.

It's the beginning of "Tourist Season" here. Hopefully, I can bag my limit.

Florida has the advantage since our son lives in Orlando. Mrs. 12BitSlab and I are going to spend Thanksgiving with him.
