I finally broke out the big guns this morning -- not the windbreaker, not the medium-heavy jacket, but the full-on arctic-adventurer style heavy coat. Even then, windchills are at the point where it no longer becomes if you'll freze to death, but just how long you have to be outside before you decide that curling up in a meager snowbank and resting for "a bit" becomes an exciting option.
I finally beat a difficult round of Rise of Nations last night.. It turns out that you don't actually have to defeat all your opponents on the map. You just have to kill the ones you haven't allied with. So, instead of fighting two full-strength enemies at once, you only have to kill off the last remaining straggler. There's a big difference.
I should really set my alarm to go off in the morning.
