Africa Hot..


So yes there is substance to the term Its Africa Hot.  The day before yesterday I was inside working on some homework when I heard a loud explosion BANG!!! I made me jump out of my seat and I began running scenarios through my head of what it could have been; the compound wall collapsed, the roof caved in, someone was hunting ducks in the back yard?? I got outside and Sang was also looking around to see what it was, then he pointed to something flat and black laying against the compound wall. It was my spare tire cover and one side of hit had a whole ripped in it. We turned around to see the spare tire sitting on the back of my truck 30 feet away had exploded. A shredded wound of heavy rubber and steel belting big enough to put my fist into. Yes, it was from the heat. I was curious so I took my little desktop thermometer outside to set it on the table. 109 degrees F and the internet said the humidity has been between 60-100% for weeks now. Now thats Africa Hot.

  1. Yep, 109° is hot, it was 64° and sunny here today.

    OSU is ranked #8. Hope it will be a good season for them.

  3. Rob, that would be a Lost Rhino Brewery sticker from Virginia. Kind of an ode to my mothers comment about the rhino holes in the truck when we first got it.
