A cold day but with beautiful vistas.
Nice clear skies and great long-distance views. I don't recall seeing the Franklin Mountains so clearly in your posts before.
Body temperature and thermoregulation are so weird and individualized. I am comfortable over a much wider range than Kali; I can tolerate cooler weather and warmer weather than she can. She gets cold at a much higher temperature than I, and she gets hot at a much lower temperature than I. But, if we're walking when it's cold outside, Kali will heat up quickly and start shedding clothes much earlier than I will. We often go for a walk when its cold, and she'll be complaining about how cold she is at first, but before long, off come the gloves, then the scarf, and finally the coat opens up and she's still warm. Meanwhile, I'm still chilly with my gloves firmly in place. (Your comment about wearing your gloves inspired this diatribe.)
Scott:
It's funny how different individuals respond to heat and cold. Without fail Dr. K is always colder than me, and does not do well in cold weather. However, she tolerates the heat far better than I do, especially when it's humid, too.
