My ears ache if I allow wind to blow on them, and a white linen do-rag is the easiest way to cover them without undue insulation. Not really. I've used one for several years now :-) After many years of working in tropical sun I have considerable sun damage to my skin in various areas and the do-rags my wife makes for me are big enough to cover the tops of my ears and have a flap to cover the back of my neck. What might be called arm-wormers but are actually sun-sleeves are almost universally worn as soon as the sun gets up in the sky. Women cyclists go even further. they wear ankle length tights, long sleeved jerseys and a head cover that is essentially a "balaclava" made from a stretchy colorful fabric. As in other Asian countries black is not beautiful :-) -- cheers, John B. |

All my ankle-length tights are winter wear, but I'm about to change from my long-sleeved summer jersey to my short-sleeved fall jersey. Just DuckDucked: there *is* a hijab store in Fort Wayne, quite close to the big malls. If I ever figure out how to get to Fort Wayne, I'll have to look into it. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |

Love today's Yehuda Moon (yehudamoon.com): two panels: 1) "I love bad weather gear." 2) "I love how it looks hanging in my closet." Just today I was admiring the brilliant yellow silkiness of the windbreaker that has been hanging on a hook in the garage all summer. Alas, it won't be long before I have to start carrying it everywhere. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |

I liked that :-) I always carry rain wear with me on any ride over a few minutes. And hope not to have to use it :-) Just today I was admiring the brilliant yellow silkiness of the windbreaker that has been hanging on a hook in the garage all summer.

There's only a 15% chance of rain. And the sun doesn't set for an hour." The ride ended with both of us sprinting home through a downpour, generator headlights supplementing the illumination of the lightning flashes. It gets amazingly dark under a thunderhead. Fortunately, the computer screen verified that there was only a 15% chance the incident had actually happened. She forgave me. -- - Frank Krygowski |
