It’s unpleasantly cold this morning, and I was reminded of this old photo from the early years of the 20th century. That’s my great-grandfather Peter on the far left, with his sisters Karen and Marie, and his brothers Ole and Iver. I’m just impressed with their coats; I’d take any of the men’s coats right now. They knew how to dress for a Minnesota winter!

“Strong,” and, “thoughtful,” were two words that popped into my head.
Furries isn’t a new thing.
Ngl, those look really warm.
I know. My first thought wasn’t, “Cool, that’s my great-grandpa” it was “I want to steal their coats.”
“No such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing” someone said.
