I laughed.
My brother, who is an Ohio transplant living in DFW for the past 15 years or so, says the scariest thing to him is watching the locals deal with ice and snow. He won't come out of the house. I didn't have the heart to tell him he's probably lost his l33t snow skillz, as well. |

There are a lot of homeless folks around DFW and a lot of them are homeless because they're mentally ill.
Consider the plight of the politician who offered no respite to the mentally ill and allowed them to freeze to death in the streets. Sometimes it not all about us...it's about the less fortunate. Merry Christmas!

I'm one of those people. I moved here in August and I wanted to die, it was so fucking hot. It's normal for people to keep their A/C set at like 78F around here. Jesus H Christ, that's like sauna temperatures. Who lives like this?

It's kind of funny to observe the differences - and the amusing similarities. The middle of summer here looks a lot like the middle of winter in Ohio - everybody is under climate control. Very few kids playing outside, the basketball and tennis courts are empty, the tables and chairs on the sidewalk outside of a restaurant sit empty, everybody has their windows rolled up in their cars, you don't see many motorcycles or bicyclists, etc, etc. One is because of heat, and one is because of cold. But it kind of looks the same. It's just something I noticed. I think it's funny. |

People arrived bundled in coats and blankets to dance, grab a bite to eat from the food trucks, take in all the beautiful lights and see Santa.

Perhaps even a hearty guffaw? It's 20 degrees out. The locals are preparing for the apocalypse. It looks like the set of The Day After around here. My power just came back on. It's been out since 3:30am. My living room couch has an electric motor and wouldn't recline. These are the struggles I must lead my family through. It's been a tough slog, but we're pulling through. I was digging through my backpacking gear to pull out the Sno Peak fuel canisters and stove so that I could nourish my wife with a cup of emergency coffee, and sustain her through the hard times. It's also like 60 degrees and climbing in the house, instead of the normal 72. I've told the children they can remove their North Face expedition gear, and extinguish the camp fire in the living room. We're going to make it now. The dog seems relieved, as my son has stopped salivating while looking at him. I took have found that most here in SATX are afraid the world is ending because of the cold. After working in CO and WY for the last 12 years, I welcome the much needed break from the heat. I'm enjoying the cold while I can. |

The ice isn't bad but the drivers around here are the big hazard. Maybe only 1 person out of every 1000 can deal with the weather. The rest are out to use their vehicle to kill every one they come in contact with. |
