Ouch!  I just wish Mother Nature wouldn&#8217;t fool with my head.  It was in the mid-50s on Saturday, perfect for a great mid-Winter ride on my Harley.  Then the wind blew in strongly and the temps plummeted on Sunday.  But it is February, and this is the DC area, so I&#8217;m not surprised.  At least we didn&#8217;t get howling winds with snow or ice as happened elsewhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m wearing tall cop boots today, pants over, at work.  I just like the feel of tall boots on my legs, even though you can&#8217;t see the boot shafts.  And because it&#8217;s so darn cold, I have on thick poly\/wool socks which keep my feet warm, but not so hot as to cause my feet to sweat.  Just right.<\/p>\n<p>There are some Bootmen who enjoy wearing boots without socks.  Funny, the few times I&#8217;ve gone sockless, my feet have sweat like crazy.  I detest sweaty feet.  I don&#8217;t like the grimy, slippery feeling or the smell.  (I&#8217;m just not one of those guys.)  So it&#8217;s always socks + boots, and tall boots when it&#8217;s cold.  Or when I&#8217;m on my Harley.  Or, heck, just when(ever) &#8230; until it gets hot again, then the boots tend to get shorter.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The thermometer indicated that it was 13F this morning before I left for work at oh-dark-30.
