Back to the Third World

When it is 45 degrees outside and 85% humidity, one's breath yields a cloud. As I watched a film in the living room yesterday, my breath was quite visible.

What the hell.

I have my doubts as to the humidity being that high, which would mean the temperature was actually lower. Most of the house is a pretty steady 50 degrees. Such temperatures would be unpleasant even in the summertime.

I brought a space heater into the bathroom this morning, feebly attempting to convert a freezer into something slightly more bearable...I was in mid-stroke, brushing my teeth when suddenly I experienced deja-vu. I paused for a moment, trying to figure it out. Then it came to me; Argentina...cinder block house...no insulation...no heat...broken bathroom window...freezing winter...trickling shower...moldy bathroom...cock roaches...oh, and space heater in the bathroom.

Save me from this freezing, third world hell.
