That was sweet but short, huh? Who ordered winter?

Fortunately, I had the solution. I reached into a closet and pulled out my Columbia jacket. (Very easy to see – hot pink. Not my first or even eighth choice, but it was 35 bucks resale.)

Even better was when I reached in the pocket for verification – yes, I had left my gloves in there. Good to go.
