A winter coat? For WHAT?!

Now, I realize that Louisiana doesn't control the fashion industry (and we should ALL be glad of that) and certain clothes come out at certain times of the year. BUT...

It's 100 degrees today. It was 100 degrees yesterday. It's likely to be 100 degrees tomorrow.

What am I supposed to do with a winter coat? Or a fleece-lined hoodie? Or sheepskin lined snow boots?

Even when it cools off here, it's not cold enough for any of that stuff. But it's August. September's not much better. As a matter of fact, you don't even think about bringing out long pants until the end of October.

So if anyone comes across a Yankee passed out on the sidewalk wearing a hip flannel shirt, a trendy fleece hoodie, and super cool sheepskin snowboots over stylish cordouroy pants, tell the ambulance that I sure looked HOTT before I passed out from the heat.
