Local Crackhead Not Minding Arctic Freeze So Much

(Toledo, OH) Local crack cocaine afficianado Thomas "Tweaky" Williams, speaking with Toledo Tales reporters, said that the current cold wave is "not a big deal" to he and fellow crack users in the abandoned house they hole up in on Oakwood Avenue.
"Really, man, we are usually sweating our balls off, no matter the weather," he said, setting down his crack pipe. "This cold actually helps us look more normal."
There is an added benefit to the cold temperatures, said Tweaky.
"Normally when I'm really high, I get the shakes pretty bad," he admitted, looking over his shoulder for the cops he was sure were looking in the back window. "Now people just think I'm shivering. It's kind of cool to be just like regular people once in a while."

The residents of the crack house, said Tweaky, have "really pitched in" to make the abandoned building snug during the winter chill.
"Markita does a good job off chopping up wall studs and keeping the fire going," he said, scratching at imaginary bugs on his arm. "And Mark - that guy is a fucking genius at finding shit to stick in the holes in the windows, like these old pants he found in the attic that were just the right size. We are kind of like a family, man, except none of us are related and we pretty much are here to do nothing but smoke crack all day."
