35F this morning. Cold, but not too cold. Dressed mostly appropriately. Wool socks over coolmax socks worked until about 10 minutes from the office, and then my toes got cold. AmFib gloves kept my hands toasty. I could have used one more arm layer because of the wind. The skullcap underneath the helmet was a really good idea. All in all, a darn good job of dressing myself!
Thanks!
And isn't it great how as grown-ups we're now learning to dress ourselves all over again? I was really impressed with myself last night until I was taught how totally not water proof my boots were.
Actually, the coolest thing about all the drama last night was that every single person who passed me while I was stripping down and re-suiting, and there were about six of them, stopped and asked me if I were okay, and if I needed a hand, or to call someone.
You don't get to see the kindness of strangers like that on a bus, I can promise you. It was a really, really good feeling.
Cool, re: the folding bike, too! I've been looking at some, and I'm kind of working up my nerve.
