No complaints

Freezing is freezing, the Complete and Total Loser always thought. This year, though, he has learned to appreciate the difference between 25 degrees and 15 degrees. At fifteen, the gloves he overpaid for three years ago aren't nearly warm enough. 

Some animals are better suited to cold weather than others.

Advice on gloves bought for warmth: Don't get fancy ones at a specialty store unless you really have something special to do, like mountain climb or ski. They're going to be identical to those you find in a bin at a Target or a Walmart. They're all made of the same stuff, and they're all made in China, and if you're like most people you're going to lose one of the pair if not both within a season, and it's better to lose a $20 pair than a $60 pair.
