Thought for the Day
Charley, my canine companion, never does anything to adjust for the differences in temperature when he goes outside.
I find that remarkable.
Imagine that, no boots, coats, hats to put on or store in a closet. No laundry to do, fashion to follow or fabrics to treat. When you are ready, you just stretch, let out a satisfying guttural sound and enter the natural world al fresco. That would simplify our world a good bit and certainly take a lot of the braggadocio out of size matters conversations.
I suppose it would require a little evolutionary adjustment to our bodies for comfortable management of temperature ranges. That or there would likely be mass migrations seasonally to compensate for the lack of fur or clothing. But, hey, lots of people do that anyway, right?
Still, there is something vaguely familiar about this idea.
