Won't one of you guys in Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa post
about how you are peeling off warm clothes?

Well, I'm not in South Africa or Australia but here in Bangkok it is
the end of the rainy season and time to start slathering on the sun
screen to avoid sun burn, Not a cloud in the sky today and the
temperature was a cool 32 degrees (C) :-)


I haven't even gone to the back of the closet for my winter clothes
yet, and today one entire pannier was occupied by clothing -- and I
wore all of it, except the cloth slippers I took in case I didn't want
to wear shoes in Meijer. (Their floor, if I recall correctly, is cold
enough to hurt when I walk there in stocking feet.) But I wore
walking shoes only for the hop across Anchorage Road from Goodwill to
Meijer, so my feet weren't sore.

Well, about half the pannier was occupied by black oxfords, and that
could happen in the summer. But this was the first time this fall
that I've taken my windbreaker. Long sleeves wouldn't have been amiss
at any time, but I put the windbreaker on only while I was eating
lunch at a picnic table with my back to a strong wind.

My food got cold really fast, but none of it blew off the table. Did
have to chase my grocery bag of grocery bags across two or three
parking lots. Lost about half; I should have tied the handles
together. I plan a hysterically funny issue of the Beeson Banner, if
I have the mental energy.

I wonder whether I still have that lovely handlebar bag that I had to
quit using when I bought my Ed Kearney light? Since I can't go out
after dark, I didn't replace my light when it wore out, so I could
start using a handlebar bag again.
