I'm old enough to remember when CRT stood for "cathode ray tube," even though I'm too young to qualify as a "geriatric" millennial. Then again, I've also used a rotary dial telephone, my favourite scientific calculator is older than I am, I know what semi-log paper is, I own a pocket watch (which, by the way, is what that mini pocket inside the right front pocket of trousers is actually for, not bloody coins), and, as you already know, I shoot a flintlock, so which one of us is old-fashioned, now?
On a totally different note, don't knock showing a little skin during the winter - I used to run barefoot through the snow when I was a kid, and these days, my cut-off for t-shirt weather is about 50 degrees, and I don't need earmuffs until it drops below 10. What I don't understand is the combination of wool hat, jumper, and shorts - every time I see that (which I haven't since I was in college), I'm tempted to ask "are you hot or cold?" Then again, speaking to my own weirdness, I simply don't wear shorts - ever. If it gets hot enough that I need to, I just pull up my flares, since that's what they're made for.
To the disconnect, remember: everyone is insane, we simply deviate from sanity in differing manners, pun fully intended, and to different degrees; "normal" is merely a setting on a dryer.
I would very much like to buy a cap-and-ball revolver, but I don't see myself falling in love with muzzle-loaders.
Remember, my library rants are almost always at least slightly tongue-in-cheek, and I was leaning into the premature geezer attitude here. It is true that I handle heat better than cold. Old injuries and chronic illness make me ache though. That grousing is legit.
I know, I know. I've shot a cap-and-ball revolver, it's loads of fun. When I have some money to burn, I think I'll buy my own Le Mat replica (a.k.a. "grapeshot revolver," which I prefer because of my old name).
If I may ask, what time of year were you born? I was born in the middle of the winter, but my sister was born in early summer, and she's not particularly fond of cold weather either. I wonder if there's a statistically significant correlation...
I was born late in the year with snow on the ground.
I forgot to mention earlier that I do have a Scotty pocket watch in my emergency kit. Wind-up for the win when off grid! It keeps decent time still when I last tested it.
