Osler's Razor

During a short first-floor chat, I learned some shocking news: Chicago controls the weather. [This became apparent when one of his classmates said "Make it cold again, Chicago!"] Not through some complicated circuit board with knobs and switches... oh no, instead of such complicated wizardry, the weather is controlled by his pants. Or lack thereof. Apparently, when he wears shorts, it gets cold. When that happened, as previously reported, he bought pants. "Enough for a different pair every day of the week" he gloated today. But, now that he wears pants, it is up to 78 degrees.

The only logical solution is something between shorts and regular pants-- perhaps a cropped pant of some kind, like the "3/4 length capri pants for men" pictured above. It's worth a try...
