Freezing. Frigid. Chilly. Numbing. Frosty. It doesn’t matter how you say it, it’s downright COLD in Sherman Country throughout the winter months. It’s so cold outside that the snowmen are begging to come inside and get warm!
When the temperatures start to get into the single digits (and below), you have to prepare yourself. It’s no longer enough to start a fire in the fireplace or wear a jacket when you go outside.
You need thermal underwear. Multiple pairs of socks. Wool scarves that wrap around your neck and face multiple times. And coffee. Lots and lots of hot coffee.
When it was in the negative temperatures, I saw a politician with his hands in his OWN pockets. That’s when you really know it’s cold!
Whatcha Got in Your Pockets?
If you’ve been a victim of high taxes lately, you may have a politician’s hands in your pockets. Not cool, we know. But what else you got in there?
Mitch Hedberg once said, “I can’t wait to get off the stage, because I’ve got some LifeSavers in my pocket and pineapple is next!”
First, we’re impressed that he knew what flavor was next in the roll. Second, what a smart guy keeping a bit of a snack in his pocket.
Phil Pastoret once said, “If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.”
This is ridiculously accurate. I swear, my dog nearly ate my pocket trying to get the third biscuit when I put this to the test. He saw three go in, and he was determined to make sure that three went into his mouth.
I was going to buy a pocket calculator. But then I thought, who cares how many pockets I have?
Pockets are always a good thing to have. It allows us to carry a few important things with us, but mainly, it’s about being able to have snacks.
Do you know what starts with a P and ends in an S? I’ll give you a hint. Men have them, and women want them.
The answer is pockets. And if you don’t get the joke, just ask any woman if she has enough pockets in her life. The answer is a resounding “no.” Men take for granted how easy it is to shop for clothes with pockets. Meanwhile, women buy a new dress and if they get a compliment on it, their response usually involves a twirl along with proving that it has pockets, obviously a key selling point.
Not Every Pocket is a Good Pocket
We talk about pockets like they’re the best things ever. Well, they are as long as we’re talking about what we have on our clothes.
Though, Confucius say: “Man with hole in pocket feel cocky all day.”
Hot Pockets are another kind of pocket you have to watch out for. They’ll do in a pinch for sustenance but don’t expect to get any real nutritional value out of them.
I thought I pocket dialed you… But it was just a clothes call.
Of course, Jim Gaffigan has a different kind of warning about them. He commented that “There is the vegetarian Hot Pocket for those of us who don’t want to eat meat but would still like diarrhea.”
If you find a Hot Pocket that’s worth eating, let me know. I’m not going to risk it without someone else giving me the green light first. I have better things to do with my time than spend it all on the toilet.
Then again, maybe I don’t. Now that I’ve been in so many Sherman homes recently, they’re warm, cozy, and have some really nice toilets. But I digress…
When You Don’t Have Pockets
If it’s cold outside and you don’t have pockets, you will need to invest in some gloves or mittens. I’ve heard that the muff is coming back into style, too, but that’s not a look that everyone can pull off. Plus, it can lead to some awkwardness if you go into a department store asking where you can find one.
When it reaches a certain frigid temperature outside in Sherman Country, it’s best to just stay inside. Work from home. Use a sick day. Do whatever you have to do to delay going out into the bitter cold.
You’ll be more willing to spend your time indoors when you have a barndo. At Sherman Pole Buildings, we’re committed to providing attainable housing.

We mentioned how politicians like to have their hands in everyone else’s pockets. Take, take, take. Affordable housing is harder to achieve. Many people have given up the dream of ever becoming homeowners. One look at interest rates can be enough to crush your dreams.

Plus, you can have the warmth you need out of a home in Minnesota or Wisconsin. You can’t just walk around with your hands in your pockets all day. I mean, you can, especially if you’re popping pineapple LifeSavers in your mouth, but it’s not a practical way to stay warm.
We’ll show you how a steel building can be as warm as you need, both in temperature and coziness. Fireplaces, HVAC systems, and more can be easily installed.
It’s what most people don’t realize about Sherman homes. So, let us show you what we have to offer. You might be surprised that becoming a homeowner is a lot more attainable when you work with us.
By the way, I invented a new golf ball that’ll automatically go in the hole if it gets within four inches. Do NOT carry them in your back pocket.
On that note, I’m signing off to go pick some lint out of my pockets. Call when you’re ready to discuss a barndo or a new Hot Pocket flavor you’ve recently discovered.
