...there are the desert tribes that profess to revere their baked domains. Similarly, the New Englander or the Minnesotan boasts about his frozen Februarys and the snow that waits till spring before uncovering the earth again. The Deep Southerner seems proud of those stifling summers that reduce everybody to sweat and distemper. Human responses to weather are, in sum, as variable as the weather itself...

He is wearing a red warm-up jacket with white piping and, or course, baggy gray sweat pants hiked up above his claves to reveal long black socks that tuck into shiny black house slippers. Apparently, this is all he ever wears...
