While walking from the office to the bus depot in the deep freeze yesterday, I realized that the ear flaps on my furry hat wasn't working as they should. The wind managed to penetrate and chill the sides of my face and my ears. I checked my cold ears when I made it inside the depot, but they were thankfully OK.
Out of curiosity when I got home, I checked the brand name. My parents got it for me for Christmas last year. It was Penman's, a Wal~Mart clothing brand. That explains that!
