Iraqi Earmuffs

I was listening to the BBC the other morning, and for once I heard some news out of Iraq that charmed and cheered me. We all knew it gets hot there—110 F. in the summer is pretty much average for Baghdad—but I'd never heard about what it's like in the winter. Well, the announcer was saying that on what would seem like a summer's day in England, temperature in the 60s, the Iraqis were going around in earmuffs. I liked that a lot.
