Making Light is one of the best blogs out there, with excellent writing and a community of intelligent commenters. Today
a post on hypothermia appeared. Very good advice, and well-written.
I, of course, linked it purely so I could quote this paragraph:
The buddy system isn’t just for Girl Scouts. If you go into the woods, take a friend. When his teeth start chattering, his lips turn blue, and he starts acting goofy, you’re hypothermic too.
Excellent reversal of expectations there, and probably more true than it looks.
