Been gone for a week, working, semi-disconnected... used my handheld computer device that also seems to have a phone function (who knew!?), to check in every now and then...
Sort of refreshing, in a way.
It is an interesting study; that is, how people connect and/or keep in touch. Then there are the layers of interaction...
For me, when I hear someone mention "layers," I think 'clothing.' It was 64 degrees outside as I was departing my locale. It dropped into the mid-50's during my journey. Speeds of 80 mph... that's a "feels like" of 45 degrees. Crosswinds of 9 mph with gusts... ends up being a little lower...
I got as far as Gila Bend.
After an hour and a half of riding, the last ten minutes, I began to shiver.
Tank topped off, I went inside the store, used the facilities, bought a coffee, announced, and asked if I could stay inside, near the door and just warm up a bit. The clerk recognized me, probably from my frequent visits, and graciously allowed my request.
As I prepared for my departure, the final leg of my trip, I added a few layers. The outermost being my leather. Wonderful and miraculous material, truly a God-given gift!
The more layers I had, the warmer I became...
and that is something to think about.
