Late in the day after baking under the 110-degree desert sun, this parking lot asphalt is too hot to walk barefoot on and nearly hot enough to cook carrots. The egg thing has been referenced once too many times and you don’t cook sushi so I had to come up with something novel – carrots seemed different. People in Arizona have to be careful with their dogs too as these surfaces will blister a dogs’ paws in seconds. Outlook for the next week: getting close to 115 (46 celsius).
