Its 37 degrees out right now and I just saw a couple of kids in t-shirts!

CM, you are woefully uninformed: When the body is exposed to cold weather, all systems are pulled internally, to the body's core. The mucosal membranes of our peripheral body systems, including the nose and mouth, are left with lower immune components, giving opportunistic pathogens a better chance of landing on the same and beginning an attack on the body, akin to a platoon landing on an unprotected beachhead. Be careful with your attacks on what somebody posts. You may end up being the one taken to task! (Yes, germs make you sick, but running around in cold weather, wearing flip-flops, a T- shirt and shorts, predisposes one to greater vulnerability to those germs.)

OMG, the sky is falling. And you still require those germs.

Interesting take on scientific research, Chicken Little.

From online source:
[FONT=&quot]Cold diminishes the immune response[/FONT][FONT=&quot] - Cold weather results in less blood supply to the extremities in order to preserve body heat in the core of the torso and head. This reduction in blood flow means there are less white blood cells available to fight disease. It seems that the body initially at least reacts to cold temperatures as a short term risk whereby today compromises are made in order to be fit to live tomorrow. This effect seems to result in an increased susceptibility to winter illnesses such as colds.[/FONT]

Oh what a crock. GERMS make you sick; not cold weather.

Exactly, without contracting the germs or viruses that cause colds, you wouldn't get one. Being out in the cold may suppress your immune system if you're not healthy, making you less likely to fight off a cold virus. From Health.com

Once and for all: Being cold is not, by itself, going to make you get a cold. Colds strike when viruses make their way into your mouth, nose, or eyes, usually after you’ve been in close proximity to someone who’s infected. The misconception about catching a cold from going jacketless may stem from the fact that colds do tend to circulate during chilly seasons, in part because people spend more time indoors and in close quarters (making it easier for illnesses to spread) than they do during warmer months.

"Seems to." Yeah. :rolleyes: Bacteria causes illness. The End.

I know what yer sayin’

It may not apply to my case, however, as I live and breathe in the mountain air.

Been here over three years

Haven’t had a cold or flu for over four

20°F is T-shirt weather here

But only after a few days at -37°F

The bod gets used to some things...even old ones

Great gear for working a chainsaw! Are those moccasins I see? Guess if I wanted to use that accidental dismemberment policy I have, I could get into your zero PPE policy.

I have other poses

I call ‘em The Chainsaw Mascara

In my business, when I see someone holding a chainsaw, I believe it's being used, never a prop. Your other pics certainly show it as such, though.

chainsaws are very dangerous tools
