I've invented a new indicator to check if a store with outdoor goodies are worthy of attention: Do they carry wool buffs in summer???

If you run an outdoors store in Scandinavia and don't carry wool buffs... then you haven't really paid attention to the actual needs of your customers (which may differ from what they're actually buying). In the mountains in mid-summer you must expect near freezing night temperatures and even the possibility of snow showers. A wool buff is the most beneficial comfort-per-weight item of extra clothing I know of.

Right now I'm enjoying the summer (not too hot!) and preparing for the fall... Except for the annual upgrade of the kid's skiing gear and clothes (I've told them to grow only every second year, but they won't listen!), all the winter gear is loaded and ready to go.
