Please tell me you’re also wearing shorts and a tshirt (and sporting pink hair).

Yep. Well, shorts and a t-shirt, the hair is no longer pink. 😀 But yeah I’m summer only from the calves up.

Also then R and I got lunch at a blues club so there’s me in denim shorts, a t-shirt, and calf-height snow boots jamming out to some dude covering Little Milton….

Sam, that is NOT easier than carrying them (how?!?)

Because they’re huge and heavy! (They are calf-height, which is a lot higher than I usually wear) AND they were in an REI bag, and REI bags have twine handles on them that were clearly put there by Satan. 

(I BROUGHT a reusable bag, I brought TWO, but NEITHER were big enough for these boots, so I put the boots on and put my sneakers in the reusable bag.)

Sounds like you are living your best life.

I’m certainly living some kind of life….

I will say that I got the boots for $80 when normally they are about $200 and I also got a $80 ultralight camp chair for $15, so I made out like a bandit in any case.
