Rat’s Nest

This is what the wind and storm did to my carefully groomed and professional look on my way to work.

Prepare, students, the professor with a rat’s nest of a hair is coming to class today!

I tried using an umbrella but the wind ripped it to shreds.

    At least your face would have been warm – not sure how you found your way!

      I barely managed to cross the highway and escape with my life! Of course, students will use this as an excuse not to show up for my lecture on the Dirty War in Argentina.

    I suppose it does not look professional; but I am inclined to call this photo a glamour shot.

    Whenever I buy a jacket, it must have a hood, which prevents the Look and, more importantly, ill from a cold wind ears & wet head. In Israel winter is similar to the beginning of autumn in Ukraine with (hopefully numerous) rains and breaking umbrellas winds. So I long ago stopped counting on an umbrella to protect me, when it’s most desired.

      The thing is, it’s viciously hot here. We were at +38C yesterday. I can’t even think of a jacket at this point. We have the rain and the wind (in a desperately hot air) and then the humid heat falls on us again.

      Of course, a jacket with a hood is a fantastic thing. If only it were cold enough for one!!
