When I was a wee teenager, a minor civil infraction involving beer and bottle rockets netted me some public service hours (for littering--they waved away the underage drinking charges!) which I spent under a bridge feeding the homeless EARLY EARLY several Sunday mornings.
One morning it was 10 below zero under that bridge. Cold as a mother fucker. At some point, I realized, here I am carrying bowls of warm soup. And my toes feel like they're going to freeze right the fuck off. And I have warm soup in my hands, sloshing in this styrofoam bowl. And my toes are cold as ice.
That day I learned two things: Soup freezes solid in about three minutes, and it's hard to get the smell of minestrone out of a pair of Chuck Taylors.
