Spiders in the kitchen

Arctic life lesson: Remember that I am only mostly invincible.

I thought of this as I watched frost crystals bloom across the sweatshirt covering my chest and felt the moisture around my mouth turn to ice. I had been running with what I thought was a gentle wind against my back but when I turned around it exerted a bitterly cold force almost greater than the speed I was running. Walking wasn't an option as I was somewhat afraid of my sweat freezing and and then I'd have to consider the implications of being 'mostly invincible'. Arctic Wind: 0, Jesse V: 1

I think I might give the point to Arctic Wind this time around...but then you get two bonus points for running in it.
