With the temperature in the single digits, we decided to spare our old bones and forgo the annual New Year's Eve mushroom drop. We were in Kennett Square earlier in the evening, though, so we got to enjoy the surreal sight of a huge lighted mushroom hanging in midair high over the town's main intersection. We caught a glimpse of the very cool laser light show, too, and very faintly heard the thumping music produced by the Funsters, who were moved inside due to the cold.
While we were in town we ran into a young friend who was wearing -- cargo shorts. We tried to talk sense into him, but he said he just likes wearing shorts, and as long as his top half is warm, he's good to go. (Sure enough, he was wearing a thick knit hat, gloves and a heavy-duty parka.)
A man overheard our conversation and added that he is a school bus driver and has noticed that some of his hardy passengers wear shorts year-round.
