Hey, I like my parka!  Keeps me warm, here in Canada, when the dog sleds
aren't available and we have to walk to work through the 6 foot deep
snow
drifts.  (Though, it's not that bad in summer, we only have to deal with
4 feet of snow right now.  Though my dog sled wasn't running this
morning.
Damn.)

Feeling very silly,
