"I'm just going outside, and I may be some time"

[pyat]

There are things a man must do by himself, in order to know that he is a man. And one of those things, I fear, is the annual Canadian tradition of hitching up the trousers, squaring the jaw, and stepping out into the storm.

Frigus expellas rutila, tamen usque recurret

For those of us who work outside in the rain, the blizzard, the hail, the sleet, the howling wind, the unshovelled slush, the uncaring drivers, we laugh at your whimpiness! :)

Good luck!
