Hot! Hothothot! Topeka! Hot toe pickers!
It's hot in To pea ka.
It's hot in the southwest, that's for sure. After 5 hours in the car with Sam and his ilk (yeah... ilk. 5 hours.) in a car with NO - count 'em ZERO- air conditioning, I have come to the conclusion that this van requires things to be done in twos. Last it was breaks and tires. Now it's exhaust and air conditioning. I could feel the heat from the exhaust (The van now sounds soooo MOPAR!) cooking up through the floorboard. This is not conducive to long distance driving. Soooo... next week while I'm away, I'm going to put it in the hospital for a look at it's hemroidal self.
Cool thing: WE saw a badger/beaver/buffalo (or something...) Sam knew what it was Muskox? Muskrat? Musketeer? Some little thing the size of a beaver / badger, but smaller than a buffalo, but with a stumpy lil tail. I can't remember... old timer's I think.
And we saw Dead Man's Curve. It was a home made sign that said "Dead Mans Curve - 600 ft ahead. 20 miles an hour" And you know what? They weren't kidding. At 25 I found that I could drive like the English do and was looking down at the soyfields of Oklahoma. It really was Dead man's curve and came around in a 270 degree curve sharp enough to shave badger/beaver/buffaloes with.
5 hours later... hothothot! and home, cooling off.
