Nine degrees. That was the number on the little dash thermometer the first January I slept in this van, and I am going to show you the ten old-school mods that got me through it, the strange ones that only a broke man would ever think of. None of them cost more than twenty dollars. Most of them cost nothing. A furnished studio in the town where I parked that night wanted one thousand four hundred dollars a month, and my paycheck had stopped covering that two years before the layoff finished the job. The shelter had a waiting list. The street had a ticket waiting for me. The van had a dead battery and a thermometer that said nine. I will tell you about that night, about the ice that formed on the inside of the windshield in the shape of my own breath, and at the end I will give you the one trick an old Army man taught me at a truck stop in Nebraska. It costs about forty cents. If you are sitting in a car tonight with nothing, it still works.
