SO, I was freezing in my little fleece and Eric sent a nice Columbia jacket but I don't like it because I have to pull it over my head.   It makes me look like I'm stripping down in the DFAC and you know how much I love to draw attention to myself in that manner.  Especially with the sausage fest that it is over here.  Blech.

I ordered a PolarWear jacket - rated to -55 degrees.  It's great.  It's warm.  It's freakin' stifling because it's not really cold here any more.

Dangit.  I got the jacket.  Now where's the cold?  Is that too much to ask that I get at least a little bit of wear from the thing before I have to send it to Virginia?

I think I'm going to get more wear from the fleece than I imagined.

Curses.
