Cold Plunge, Anyone?
I’m from Michigan so I know what cold is. I now live in Las Vegas — because I know what cold is. All those years digging my car out of the snow has given me freeze-phobia — I try to avoid anything that’s even associated with the cold. I drink hot tea. I prefer my true crime cases solved.
