I never realized how much heat you lose through your exposed ears. When my hearing got bad enough that I couldn't hear deer or hogs walking in the leaves I bought a set of sound amplifying ear muffs that would cancel the rifle shot noise. The difference in how much warmer I felt was exceptional and I could hear again.

Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."
