PUBLIC SCHOOL WINDBREAKERS & BROADSWORDS

As far as I know, I haven't mentioned Public School on this blog and that negligence borders on criminal. This is their Aratus Windbreaker and it has two zippers on the front, which makes it twice as good as most other windbreakers on the market and infinitely better than the garbage bag you wore as a poncho the last time you got caught in the rain on your way home from work. It also has a zippered pocket on the back, in which you will most assuredly lose something important like your iPhone or your insulin pump. I like windbreakers. I even like the word "windbreaker". It sounds like the name of a legendary warship or an enchanted broadsword or a Preakness-winning racehorse. Windbreaker could also be the euphemistic moniker for someone who demonstrates above average flatulence. As college TAs and Ikea delivery men are wont to say, "There's a lot to unpack here". Wait, why do I want to buy a broadsword all of a sudden? -RB
