On my way to work today I encountered a dude with no socks, in shorts and flip-flops, plodding along in the snow. He was probably just going around the block but he looked a tad out of place.

The inside of the Big Shed isn’t insulated, nor heated in the winter or cooled in the summer. All the activity, and machinery keep it a toasty 75 degrees or so, and some areas get even warmer.

So many people wear shorts year ‘round.

There is one dude I see quite often has a “uniform”. He wears a tie dyed t-shirt and shorts.

Everyday.

When we had the 18” of snow a couple weeks back I saw him, walking in each morning, funky shirt and shorts, without a jacket.

What a maroon.

He should at least had a warm coat on.

Me?

I wear shorts from April to September, but as soon as the rainy season begins it is back to full trousers.

My mama didn’t raise no fool.

cheesy

Ankle socks are the only ones worse than quarter socks.
I remember seeing old men with their socks rolled down, that really creeped me out.

You’re not an old man, so you shouldn’t be.

Oh dear....not rolled but tall hiking socks pushed down as they were too hot. I started buying the ankle hikers a few years after this (2013).

That's only 6 years ago.

Don't go probabilistic, OK?

Oh but I am.

And I likely will go probabilistic at any moment, without any warning.

Watch out man.
