From the window of this coffee house I see the customers sitting outside, holding onto their cigarettes, people walking by, and the occasional bicyclist. Maybe 10% of people are celebrating the good weather (despite the gray-milk sky) by wearing shorts or skirts - exposing a substantial amount of bare skin. “Only in Canada…” I think, …”at this temperature”. Then I remember the past months of winter and the young high school girls in uniforms with skirts just long enough to avoid train-seat - skin contact. (I think?) Generally the two scenarios involve the same elements - people with exposed legs despite the air being cool. But the stories and interpretations are completely different. The girls do their kneehighs well while that old man in the khaki shorts and black runners should lose the white socks.
