So New England is playing Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. In Florida.

I'm sorry, but I'm old enough to think that football should be played in Weather. Mud and cold and such are factors in the game. My football uniforms had permanent red stains from Georgia mud. Dome stadiums and artificial turf are abominations before the Lord.

And I'd bet serious money that if last year's Super Bowl had been played in Green Bay or Buffalo, we wouldn't have had that farce over "wardrobe malfunctions." Too many layers before any bare skin got exposed to the windchill....

I'm thinking that this afternoon may be ski-worthy.

That's "warmer" as defined for Maine in January. Went skiing and my water bottle didn't freeze in my backpack within half an hour. Believe me, this _does_ represent an improvement. Did the University Forest this time, so I don't know the mileage. Ten chickadees worth of distance, I guess. About an hour.
