To paraphrase the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "...if you know where your towel is, you must be one happening, together dude who'll also have spare underwear, lip balm, etc. and people will buy you drinks for having your towel..." or something like that.

Duanekeys, it would seem a balaclava would be the solution to a frozen face. And baklava would be a nice choice for lunch.
My commute in was fine. It was 42F when I left so I wore a jacket and a helmet on my commute for the first time this season and arrived at work sweatier than if I hadn't worn the helmet. Still debating on whether I should wear the helmet all the time or just in rainy/wintry weather. Or maybe a combination of the lighter, ventier helmet on nice days and the less venty helmet on really cold, rainy, wintry days. Yelled at a jaywalking ped who couldn't decide which way to go eventhough I already made up my mind to pass behind him. He yelled something like, "You EEDJIT!", to which I responded, "You tawkin' ta me STUPID?!?", while staring at him like you would stare at a particularly ugly child.
