Though I live in Florida, I've lived in colder places and have appropriate coats, etc. And I don't have any mobility issues, and routinely walk a few miles just for fun. But if I didn't already own cold-weather gear that I would never need in Florida, I would not be looking forward to walking a mile, early in the morning or late at night, in February, in Chicago, where I could reasonably expect it to be in the ballpark of 20°F. Which reminds me, I really hope some warmer locales are prepping c4l14 proposals as we speak. -Esme -- Esme Cowles <[log in to unmask]> "They extend copyrights perpetually.
