'I’ll Take Winter Any Day': Homeless Man Says Bitter Cold Is Easier To Endure Than This Heat

"Yeah, not a good idea for me to use my real name,” he smiles. “I’m kind of well-known around here, so I don’t need to call any more attention to myself or where I’m hanging out.”

Bob’s been camping in the woods in and around Johnson County for more than a year now, following the loss of his construction job and a bone injury to his wrist.

With a clean brown T-shirt, a well-trimmed beard and a cigarette resting behind his right ear, he says that contrary to what people might think, being homeless is easier when it’s cold.
