for
the
longest
time
,
i
have
been
able
to
tolerate
the
cold
without
too
much
thought
,
even
to
the
extremes
of
working
in
a
refrigerated warehouse
at
1
.5°C
in
a
t
-shirt
and
shorts
for
an
hour
at
a
time
when
i
was
a
kid
,
but
lately
i
find
myself
needing
to
bundle
up
even
though
this
winter
has
been
milder
than
most
.
The
February
weather
here
has
been
what
you'd
expect
of
mid
-April
in
other
places
but
even
through
my
clothes
i
feel
cold
and
exposed
and
i
don't
even
have
the
sort
of
fever
that
would
cause
it
.

anyone
would
laugh
if
I
complain
of
50
degree
California
weather
as
unbearable
.
But
sometimes
the
wind
sends
aching
chills
thru
me
.
I
put
on
my
hood
,
and
tie
the
sting
tightly
around
my
neck
.
I
imagine
I
look
like
Kenny
from
Southpark,
only
i
have
more
of
my
face
exposed
.
i
started
thinking
the
other
day
that
i
need
a
scarf
to
tie
around
my
mouth
and
chin
,
so
I'd
have
only
the
essential
body
parts
feeling
cold
.
The
nose
to
breath
,
the
eyes
to
see
.
But
even
with
a
scarf
i
would
still
have
a
frosty
nose
and
chilly
eyeballs
.
