Here in town, my neighbors tease me about not wearing a shirt when it's in the 20's, so a couple weeks back when we got several inches of snow on the ground, I went outside for a smoke, wearing a pair of shorts; no shirt, no shoes, and casually ambled around the yard. That really threw 'em for a loop.
