Polar Fleas

Brought to you by the itchy feeling of dry skin under layers of warm clothing, especially wool.

We hardy Midwesterners, God’s frozen chosen, are all afflicted by polar fleas during the winter. We scratch, we squirm, we apply a gallon of body lotion a day. Why? Because we’re not smart enough to move to Hawaii.

Busy weekend ahead, including haircuts, concerts, classes, meetings and literary endeavors. Gotta go. Stay warm!
