relativity

I went for a short walk around the neighborhood today, the first time I’ve been outside for a walk since before the Arctic blast came to town. The temperature outside finally got up to nineteen degrees Fahrenheit, not exactly balmy unless you were born on Pluto. I wasn’t, but I still went out without my parka and I have to admit I regretted leaving it behind before I’d gone a block down the road. I couldn’t stomach going back after so recently escaping the house, though, so I soldiered on and, by the time I’d walked about three blocks, I’d made the decision to make this a much shorter walk than I’d originally planned. Even so, I walked about ten blocks in about twenty minutes. Froze my ass off but I was glad to finally get out of the house.
