What is that strange sound?

Oh, it is my teeth chatterin'. Am I the only one who is freezin' to death? It is so cold outside, someone would think it was gettin' near the end of November or somethin'. I guess it is time to unpack my heavy goose down comforter. I know there were at least several dozen geese who willingly* sacrificed their lives so that I would be able to stay warm and cozy. I might as well honor their intentions.

*or so I have been told

Ooh, I miss having a goose down comforter. I used to have a goosedown bed, comforter and pillows--an entire flock of geese must have been slaughtered for them. But my asthma got too bad for me to use them without gasping after thirty minutes. Karmic backlash, I guess...
There's alternatives, though. And nowadays I wouldn't be able to sleep with one, for the same reason that I wouldn't wear a lynx-fur coat or wear tortoiseshell jewelry either. (But damn if that goosedown wasn't nice and warm...oh well...) To each his own! :-)
