Proudly Incongruous

I'll be the first to admit that I wear a weird combination of clothes while working during the summer. The main reason is that I get a nasty rash from the sun; so, I typically wear the following:

• Rubber boots--yep, this is a farm!
• Long pants--keeps the hot rubber boots from burning my skin. This year it turns out all of my work pants are camouflage. (BTW, I only wear shorts while swimming.)
• Long sleeve shirt--made of cotton, untucked for airflow and buttoned up all the way with the collar turned up to keep the sun off.
• Hat--keeps the sun off my face.
• Earplugs--the big ear-muff type, used when operating equipment.
• Gloves--these usually stay in my pockets, resulting in a nice bumpy red rash on my hands.
  

As you can see, the effect is quite atrocious. :-)
