it's cold in san antone...

oh, God, i hate the cold. say what you will about the heat in texas, but it's not like being cold.

it's concentrated pain that starts on the skin moves to the joints and then settles into your joints. your skin contracts, dries, and flakes; any scratch or smack is agony, your lips crack and bleed. all extremities ache and become painful to touch or move... no really, ALL extremities. that's not a broken bone or arterial bleeding, this is a serious injury. your heart rate slows, your blood coagulates, hypothermia sets in, you become lethargic and you slowly accept your fate. you freeze to death. your family divides your belongings and end up throwing most of it away.

you'll seldom hear me complain about the heat, but the cold i'll gripe about.
