Cold day today. What’s that? Cold? YES. IT IS VERY VERY COLD.
Cold enough that you walk outside, open your mouth to say “Damn it’s cold!” and your mouth freezes open, because the muscles in your face are in spasm. About -22C. Which is not as bad as it gets, but we’re in the transitional phase, where some of us aren’t yet wearing our balaclavas, and are wishing to god we were as our eyebrows crystallize.
Got to see an interesting phenomenon on the late streetcar ride home (mulled wine at a friend’s place)… frozen windows. Every clear window on the stretch we streetcared past was now an opaque white sheet of ice crystals. Mannequin heads peering out through 1/2 foot of clear glass, ice sheeting hiding their shame…
Except for at Miss Behavin’ – which was completely defrosted and was featuring their Christmas gear – including a red jockstrap with a little white bow on it. *chuckle*
