The Rockies are terrible. A wind change can make it go from 75F to 30F in minutes. Think about it, air from low warm lowland switching to 8000 feet with snow.
I guess you carry a back pack with needed layers.
The air is so humid and stagnant here temp changes are minor, usually hot. I think it gives us brain damage. So the funny accent.

Never had a big desire to do the mountain thing , the little knobs here are good enough for me . Less demanding . I was at Benning for basic training from late Jan til about April , weather wasn't bad then . I think the cold effects our brains as much as the heat and humidity does yours .

Shoot, you guys stay inside during winter and get educated.

For sure , some days are a bit brutal for venturing far from the stove . I hate staying indoors , always things I can be doing outside .

They look like little amniotic sacs. Or jellyfish?

I'm certain they hold the moisture for the germinating seed, maybe even some nutrients? You'd think there'd be an application for synthesizing the goo.

(Maybe it is already in use??)

They are totally clear. Pass light well, even converge light to a point.
May be useful as toothpaste.
