RTGFKAR gets up in the morning, throws on some shorts and a tee shirt and then retires to the patio to sip his morning coffee and listen to the birds or the rain, whichever.
I get up in the morning and tug on sweat pants and woolen hoodie over my pj's. Mornings are cold, sixty something Fahrenheit, and I would turn blue, my teeth would chatter and I'd soon be a human Popsicle if I joined RTGFKAR in shorts and tee. Instead, I meander to the office, and, hood up, begin to delve into the deepest regions of my psyche and unravel the eternal mysteries of the human mind in order to pass my findings along to you, the faithful blog reader. Either that or I read sports. Okay, mostly I read sports. But THEN, after learning who won what, I crank up Monkeymind and put down the results of my priceless intellectual research whose origins are idle thoughts and careless observations like today's revelation that RTGFGAR digs it cool while I prefer warmer. I mean, that's deep.
Especially when you consider that we recently met a couple who have migrated here from Alaska. They also prefer cooler weather which begged the question that went unanswered, what the hello are you doing here? I suspect witness protection, but, you know, nobody owns up to that one. Still, Alaskan origins, loving the cold, makes sense. RTGFKAR and I, on the other hand, wandered here from the same mostly New Jersey-Colorado lives, proving, aha!, that it is not necessarily place of origin that determines temperature preferences. What then is it?
One theory advanced by scientists, anthropologists, model airplane makers and other unreliable sources is that it's all about body types. Well poppycock, balderdash, and poohpah I say. We've all known heavy people who like it warm and skinny people who like it cold and visa versa mastercard. It can't be body types. It can, however, be deeply embedded in our DNA (Dangerously Normal Attitudes.) I, though, for one, don't believe in that explanation either because I know, yes that's right, I know THE TRUTH.
AND THE TRUTH IS....
It's just RTGFKAR. He's really weird.

RTGFKAR is a manly cold-impervious stud, that's what he is.
That is, if by COLD you mean 67 degrees.
I like the air hot and the water cold. I like green chili hot and cold cold beer. I like tea cold and coffee hot. I like cold feet and a warm heart. I like the day hot and the night cold. In the day throw vodka, in the nitrogen. Yup, that's what I say.
