Take balaclava? Oh indeed I do Epower! It’s with me everywhere I go come November as you never know when the winter weather is going to turn nasty here in Minnesota. Of course, being the hearty Scandinavian type I don’t need to actually wear it until the wind chill hits -30F or more, but it’s always best to be prepared and it just occurred to me that you were probably referring to the Battle of Balaclava and not the winter face covering. "Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, all in the valley of Death…" To be fair, sometimes it feels precisely that way going out when it’s winter here.
