I have just described the craziness of 99 per cent of the population. The remainded beliieves in so called conditioning using snow and cold water. In winter, they stand barefoot on the snow believing in the. Healing properties of this procedure. They also makes holes in the ice that covers water bodies and swim in ice cold water. In summer they take cold showers and pour cold water on their children, head first, everry day. I was like that briefly many years ago... basically it is the other extreme.

I now appear to be the only person who, on the one hand, does eat unthawed icecream, and, on the other hand, does not stand barefoot on the snow. That does make me fairly normal, I think.
