Everyone in this City is Nuts: An Essay.

People here bike on the canal; they take their bike and intentionally ride on the ice. They also happen to be doing this on the non-approved part of the canal that isn't open yet.

People here jog in the snow, in tiny tiny pants. They look out in the morning, see piles of snow and wind chill at -15 and they Go For A Jog!

People here frequently flout the warning signs and the 'closed for winter' notices, and climb over chained off stairwells and blocked paths, to walk on a non-shoveled, unsalted surface, because it Might save them a minute or two.

People here claim they Like winter.

Everyone in this city is nuts.
