Context (Scenario)
As I was thinking about the previous post on context I was sitting inside a bus terminal waiting for one specific bus.  One of only 3 buses in the entire day that drops me off behind my house.   I had never taken that bus before.

As I left work yesterday in extremely cold temperatures last night I could not ignore the very silly hat the gentleman walking ahead of me was wearing.  Although silly, I guarantee you he was probably much warmer than I was.
