jorts and jncos. a few things I disliked from the 90's.

I don't understand how shorts made of denim are somehow worse than shorts with a bunch of useless pockets. You don't need all those pockets and nobody has gotten a handy in cargo shorts since 'Nam, so give it up already. Jean shorts would match you polo and popped collar just as much as your khaki cargos do!

Surely you must be kidding. Cargos rock! I can put a couple of cans of bear in each pocket, a sandwich and my cell phone. Plus wallet and smokes.

I have worn shorts pretty much the last 3-4 months. I like like 10 miles North of the OP.

You're a nut. The entire month of February it never got above 15 degrees (it seemed)

I wear long pants when its below 0, or if im going to be outside a long time, but if Im in the house, I wear shorts :) Or if im just going to be outside for like 15 minutes or so ...

That said, I have been known to shovel snow in shorts... once, shoveled with sandals, never again!

I don't like wearing shorts much. I might wear them a handful of times per year.

i wear shorts year round in the house, even when it's 0 degrees outside. shorts or sweat pants is pretty much all anybody will ever see me wearing inside my house.

Damn, I wore t-shit & shorts AND used the f-ing air conditioning in my home and truck during Winter.

Of course, this is in Hotlanta.

I only like the thin drip dry shorts ... that way I can swim at the beach or jump in the spa ... or wrestle crocs when they try to grab my cats or dogs.

It's a bit overcast here, kind of depressing. The highs in the upper 80Fs should help.

Pool is about 85 degrees with the solar heater, barely a cloud in the sky... I can't imagine wearing anything other than shorts.

That's pretty much all of March-April here. One day it's super hot and snow is melting and the sun is out, the next day it's freezing cold and/or snowing hard. Sometimes even in the same day.

Light flurries right now, though there's pretty strong wind bursts. The house makes lot of funny noises. :hmm:
