Today, according to one of many calendars available on line, is "Clashing Clothes Day" which is always celebrated on the 4th Thursday in January. My west coast brother couldn't provide anything more interesting because he was busy installing a new transmitter, whatever that is. I guess he does need to focus on work sometimes. But about clashing clothes, I'm not sure why this is celebrated in January. If you're wearing wildly clashing clothes but have to bundle up in a coat, who will know? Although, I must admit I do see some interesting outfits on my elevator rides. On any given day, even in this weather, I might be riding in the elevator with a person wearing shorts and flip flops and someone else wearing plaid pajama pants with a message bearing top. Often these people are hauling baskets of clothes to the laundry room which may explain their attire. I get the impression that some of our younger tenants here (we do have a number of college students) wait until they are absolutely out of clothes before they realize it's time to do laundry. But back to clashing clothes, I can't think of anything that clashes more than bright red and bright green, so maybe everyone should bring out their ugly Christmas sweaters for one more wearing in January. They certainly would go well with the snow we finally have. And speaking of that, I had to drive to a couple of appointments today and I was really impressed with how well the main roads have been cleared off. And speaking of that, one of my appointments today was to finalize plans for a trip, so now I am dreaming of sunny Italy in September, and I won't care at all if every tourist wears clashing clothes.
