“..and tennis shoes and blue jeans, and wet socks won’t cut it.”
My son will hop in the car in rainy, 50 degree weather with tennis shoes (sometimes flip-flops), shorts and a t-shirt. “Daaaadddd - I’m just going to the gym/ Tommy’s house, etc.”
I got him a pack and threw some decent clothes, boots, old rain gear, etc. in it. “So - if you get a flat and have to fix it, or have to walk a bit, you’re not doing it in shorts and a t-shirt.”
I saw it all the time in Minneapolis, they would jump up in their house clothes of jeans and tennis shoes and grab a jacket to drive 50 miles, without a thought that it was 10 below zero and that if their car broke down, that they could suffer foot damage even on a short walk to a gas station for a gas can.
Half the time, I drive with flip flops. The other half, I drive barefoot. I don’t drive in snow.
