Do not worry, My Fair Lady
I just read my wife's blog-she's concerned about the coming winter months. This concern is well founded. Were we to ignore the impending winter and send our children into the sub zero temperatures with their current attire, they would be not long for this world. BUt here's the beauty of it-if you go to "clothing stores" you can buy these wacky inventions called "coats" and "long underwear". These ingenius devices cover your body in the event of cold weather.
I think we spent too much time away from the midwest, for everyone seems to be in a panic about the approaching wintertide. Here's the beauty of it. If the weather gets cold, you can put on more clothes. It is not complicated. Plus, if there is snow, our children will be in such a sense of awe, we will have to force them inside to avoid frostbite. They will not care, much as I didn't care as a kid when i played in the snow.
California winters make people soft. They are beautiful, but they steal a sense of perspective from people. Will it be freaking freezing this winter in Minnesota? Yes. Will I have a coat? You betcha-it's how one keeps warm.
