Plans today were going to the museum as a recovery from a Terrible Stressing Week (end of semester, huge exam, not getting the support I needed from people around me to go through it). Woke up too late to get to the museum in time after cleaning the house + studying a bit, so I'll go for a walk instead and let being in nature do its thing.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Nature is good. What's the weather like these days in your neck of the woodsworld? 36F here, which is rather cold for a nature hike.

Eh -- depends on your mood, I suppose, and how well clad you are.
I have a friend who was in the Air Force, stationed in Greenland for a while. Her survival instructor told them there is no such thing as bad weather, just weather you are inappropriately clad for.

I heard of this, yes, but under 46F it is really too cold for me. Jerusalem coldness goes straight to the bones.
I know of a few kindergarten teachers who adhere to this saying. I wish I would have brought up this way, but nope. If I'll have kids one day I'll look for a kindergarten that encourage this connection to nature.
(Theo, what are you doing up so late/early?)

I woke up at 3 AM, read for a little while, but then had my best and deepest sleep until nearly 7 AM, which for me is late. But I'm on Eastern Standard Time (+5GMT) so it's not that early, really.

In Greenland I can buy that, but just what is the appropriate wardrobe for 120°+ heat index, pray tell?

Just got back from another crazy kids birthday party with bouncy houses. Now ltc is overtired and over sugared.

A/C. And not leaving it. (I only had the pleasure of experiencing 109F).
