I went to the store so I checked the temp and I thought - oh, thank god, it warmed up, I don't have to wear my heavy coat. I selected a very lightweight pea coat and off I went. The temp? -3C. Didn't even button my coat or wear a hat. #winter #chicago #coldenoughforya

An interesting view on myth being much more nuanced than much more modern mytho-fiction mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/others/sunda... #myth #mytofiction #folklore #indianmythology

And - it's snowing again. This better not be a reprise of 79 - that year the snow was so high from the plows that my brother and I created an igloo on the parkway that we could stand up in. Bloody miracle it didn't collapse and suffocate us both! 🤣 #snow #chicago #winter #snowstorm
