And, Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends.

This was the scene on the way in to work this morning.

Brrrr! But nice.
I'm glad your camera didn't freeze.

Lovely. What was your outerwear like?

So, I guess I had better come clean, for Ed’s and Rajan’s sake...

Yes, it was cold. –19° is nothing to sneeze at. And, while I’d like to claim that I had to ‘slog uphill both ways through a snow storm’, the reality is I was on my way to work and was out of the car for only a few minutes. Although I had only my usual chinos, shirt and tie and blazer on, and no gloves, there was no wind and it sure didn’t feel like –19°.

I think I’m beginning to understand what Edward Westen said so many years (decades!) ago:
“Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn’t photogenic.” ;)
