Hiking/trekking

[Pathfinder1]

Hi...


Well, my (walking) mail carrier just got here. As usual, he was dressed in shorts and sneakers, even though it was snowing and blizzard-y all day long.

He wears shorts all year around, unless the PM tells him otherwise, then it's quickly back to the shorts.

If it weren't for the sneakers, he'd be another Cody...!!

Wow, that guy has some stamina. That is one person you could take on a hike and have no worries that they couldn't handle it or that they would complain. Our UPS guy had shorts on today. I think he is nuts!

I was unloading a tanker up in Minnesota and one of the operators was out there helping. The temp was 4, plus windchill. I asked how he could be out there for three hours wearing a t-shirt and cargo shorts. His reply: "the sun's shining".

What do you say to that?

I say everyone has different metabolism. My ex-brother in law was an electrician, and he wore a tee shirt working outside in a snow storm. I see people in shorts here in winter. Last week at a meeting when the temperature was 4 degrees F. Most of them are overweight old guys from CA. Some people grew up wearing shorts and have never adapted to their new climate.

There is no bad weather only bad clothes.
