What is it with people wearing heavy coats when it is 30 degrees celcius (96 degrees farenheit) in the dog days of summer?
Did they get a good deal on it and want to show it off?
Are they covering up a nuclear device?
Are they cold?
Are they hiding snake tatoos they got the night before, while drunk?
Is it some kind of fashion accessory from bizarre land?
Are they making some kind of twisted statement?
I wonder if these are the same group of weirdos that go around in winter, wearing only a shirt. Are they rebelling against the environment? Some kind of anti-season wear maybe?
Maybe they are thinking to themselves…..”there is no way something as weak as nature is going to dictate my daily attire.”
Now I am not talking about the mentally ill people, with tormented minds…..that wander in winter coats (in summer) muttering to themselves. They are sick and can’t help but sometimes be painfully unaware of their surroundings.
I am talking about the “stable” people, that work in offices, banks, stores…whatever. I was walking in downtown Toronto today and it was hot. I enjoy watching people, it can be good fun. So….I notice this young lady wearing a pleated aviator jacket….and it was one heavy mother of a coat. I think to myself…OK, so you get one in every crowd….maybe she just bought it and couldn’t wait for November, when it would be appropriate.
But as I walk two blocks (King to Dundas, up Yonge) I noticed 5 other people wearing coats. I think to myself, “what the hell?” I wanted to stop one of them and say…”Hey, what the hell gives…do you actually come from the sun and you find it cold here on earth?”
So, enjoy the summer…enjoy the chance to wear some nice, light clothing.
At the very least, put your damn toques and mittens away ‘til November.
