The scarf - a paradigm shifter

Used to be, I was never cold. -10 fahrenheit? Bah! Scarcely noticed. I came to understand that this was because I was drunk for about 250 years. Nowadays, though, I HATE the cold. Not so much that I hate winter, mind you - looking out the window last night at the surprise actual snow we got was quite exciting! However, the actual being out in it - not as charming as it used to be.

To that end, I scarfed up my friend's scarf-tying technique; yes, fully bit his style. But the fold-length-of-scarf-in-half-loop-around-neck-pass-ends-through-loop technique is just amazing. The barrier thus formed against the cold is miraculous! I assume everyone knows this. But somehow I'D missed out. And even this morning, walking out to winter (c and p 1983 R. Frame), I was as excited like I had a new toy, or, moreso, like one of those dreams where one gets something super-great and then wakes up and the somnolescent chimera has amscrayed...only, this time, my newfound scarf-sentience is REAL and EVERLASTING!
