Cold Out

[ndrosen]

This evening, I stopped at a book store, and then waited ten or fifteen minutes for the bus that would take me the rest of the way to Pentagon City. It was bitterly cold, Pennsylvania hills cold or even Massachusetts cold, instead of the moderate cold of a typical winter day in Northern Virginia.

Also, I mostly wore my coat, or half-wore it, at work today. Not all of the Patent Office was cold, but my office was. I'm senior enough to have a window, and I think that area of the building in particular was underheated.
