I'm Too Stupid

Chris Coleman, mayor of St. Paul, wanted to remind me to that it gets cold in Minnesota in the winter:

"Minnesotans know that our winters can be unrelenting, but the show must go on. We are asking the public to take common sense precautions to ensure a safe Winter Carnival experience for all," Coleman said.

The Mayor asked the public to follow common sense cold weather precautions for adults and children including wearing a hat, a scarf or knit mask to cover the face and mouth, sleeves that are snug at the wrists, mittens (they are warmer than gloves), Water-resistant coat and boots, and several layers of loose-fitting clothing.

I'm grateful for politicians because I'm too stupid to figure these things out on my own. Had I not read this, I might have gone to the Winter Carnival in a t-shirt and shorts.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. You just may have saved my life.
