It was to Sikes Lake I ventured this 16th morning of the 2026 version of January, also known as Friday.
I was in the mood for some nature communing. But, the outer world was not being cooperative.
As you can see via the photo documentation of the flag waving a strong wind is blowing. That strong wind made for a wind chill factor that made 45 Fahrenheit degrees feel way chillier than 45 degrees.
So, I cut my nature communing short due to that being way too chilly problem, despite being heavily layered in insulated sweat pants, a hooded sweatshirt, gloves and stocking cap.
20 minutes of shivering was plenty. I figure the excessive shivering is its own form of exercise, with a salubrious effect which has not been researched and documented.
By the time I got back to my motorized means of motion, out of the wind, the shivering turned to sneezing. Methinks I am not quite over the cold I came down with around Christmas...
