Last night's low temperature was 15 degrees F, and today's high was 29. I wore my flannel-lined pants to work, with leg warmers over my socks. Generally, I only wear the leg warmers at home, with my house-shoes and without socks. But this way, my ankles didn't get cold even when I went outside to walk and sit and eat lunch.
I also had my warmest hooded jacket and my head-band with attached mini-ear-muffs. And a long thin scarf that I wrap around my neck whenever it is chilly outside. It's a very light gauzy scarf, yet warm. When it's not too cold, I like to leave the ends loose and have them flutter in the wind.
Often when I wrap the scarf around my neck, it feels like a dangerous thing to me, in that someone else could choke me with it. Once I've wrapped it, it's often hard for me to find the ends in order to take it off. All someone would have to do is to grab the scarf around my neck, and pull, and twist...
Is it normal to have that kind of thought pop into one's head? I must have read or heard too many stories about people being choked to death.
Once when I was looking at my car's engine, I realized that I was wearing the scarf, and that I'd better back away and take it off. Wouldn't want one end to come loose and get sucked into the engine's turning parts, and have it pull me in.

A message was left on my answering machine asking me to call back Opex, my long distance provider. No other information except the phone number to call. It was a computer generated voice. Would you call back such a number? I can't but think that it must be advertising. If it were anything important, surely they would have left more information, or would have emailed me about it.
