[AT] test

[charlie hill]

Ralph, from your videos you  dress about like folks do here when
they have to work out in the cold on our few really cold days but
some of these retired folks bundle up like you do to go to the grocery
store when it's 45 F outside.  I guess it's just the way they have always
done it where ever they came from.

Charlie, surprisingly I have a low tolerance for cold. I can be cold
sitting in the house at 70 degrees with three layers on if I am not
active. I am actually warmer outside when I am working enough to get the
blood circulating. But yes, layers are what I use. 3 layers for just
sitting around the house, might get down to two if I am working.
Outdoors I will add two more. Insulated coveralls and a parka on top of
that. Minimum two layers on the legs, more often three if I want to be
comfortable. I have no fat for insulation and my arms never see the sun
even in the hottest days of summer. And the last thing I would ever need
is air conditioning for the house. A furnace, well that is a necessity
of life. Kind of like a block heater on an engine. Hey, it has warmed up
here. Got up near 0 farenheit today with no wind and if felt positively
warm in the sunshine.
