boston winter vs. my eyes
January 15th, 2009 by Lawrence David
my bike ride to work today through the boston arctic was cold enough to make me wonder if my eyeballs could freeze in their sockets. weather.com tells me it’s 0 degrees fahrenheit with the windchill — make that -5F or -10F then if you’re cruising along on your bike. i did my best to bundle up against the cold — big black skiing mittens and my midnight north face jacket made me look like a skinny black polar bear.
still, how cold does it have to be for your eyes to turn into little opaque lychees in your head? delicious as that may be, maybe i should start wearing my ski goggles again to work.
Why would anyone not wear eye protection, especially in harsh weather, is beyond me. wear swimming goggles =P
Lychees!! Yum yum!
Nom nom nom nom nom nom….
-40C = Spit goes “clunk”
