Pickles by Brian Crane for December 13, 2016

and the lady wears rabbit slippers outside in the yard

My feet like to be free and unfettered too, but I know better than to go barefoot in this cold weather. I love wearing shorts too, but I don’t wear them in the winter.

I have long been of the opinion that no male over the age of 15 should wear shorts in public.

Wearing shorts n the winter, his legs get “freedom bumps”. Wearing short in the summer, his legs get “freedom fried”.

You’re certifiably nuts, Earl.

There were these two mail carriers who bet on which one of them would be the first to put on long pants. They wore shorts through one winter, then another, then started a third when the Postmaster General made them stop.

Shorts and flip-flops are sort of de rigueur, year round. The temperature, this close to the equator doesn’t vary a great deal – especially, here on the coast. When I had to go back up to Connecticut, in January, a couple of years ago, I almost froze to death !

I had to borrow a heavy jacket because I didn’t own one anymore.

Y’all are welcome to all the winter weather !

I wear shorts in the winter to go to the gym. I can handle the cold for a little while.

I thought they were people bumps?

kilts are even better

Earl… If they’re long pants, they’re too short…

and If they’re short pants they’re too long…

I don’t think human legs have many cold receptors; otherwise women wouldn’t wear skirts in the cold, and we all tolerate cold better on our legs.

In Wyoming and those northern type states, it is shorts weather till it hits 20 degrees.

I wonder where the Pickles live? Here in southern Wisconsin, the temperature right ow is 8 degrees. I wouldn’t wear shorts in this kind of weather, but I would not be surprised when I get to work later (I work in retail) to see people coming into the store wearing shorts or even flip flops. Fine, if they want to freeze their fannies, but I hate seeing them bring in kids who are under-dressed.

I meant the temperature NOW is 8 degrees, not the temperature ow is 8. Eight is not an “Ow,” it’s a brrrrr,

Goose pimples… French pimples… Freedom pimples

well Earl don’t call her if you get sick ….

This time of year, the frost on the ground and the chill in the air fill me with energy and goodwill. They also fill me with thankfulness that I don’t have any nipple jewelry.

The rule for me: October-May: Long

June-September: Short.

Quite comfortable. While one can freeze in the mountains, I would have expected the Humbolt Current to have lowered the temperatures a bit.
