When I was a little boy living in South Texas, I would wake up on hot dry summer mornings,
and find a coating of dry white power on the inside of my arms at the elbows.
It was
salt. I would bush it off and go swimming..
It was so dry most of the time, your sweat would dry up instantly.
I sometimes notice my hat-band was moist and sometimes,
a little sweat on my face while eating Mexican food.
