At least, it felt like it was. A whopping 116 degrees in the SHADE. A searing 134.5 degrees in the sun. Yikes. I don’t care if it IS a dry heat: that’s HOT!
So, why in the world was I up there? What in tarnation could make me believe it was worth it to climb up to the rooftop of a Nissan dealership in those scorching temperatures? Aside from a million dollars, or the promise of a lifetime supply of Diet Coke or chocolate, it was the next best thing: a few minutes of “fame” and the chance to talk about Scouts.
Overall, I think I rocked it…right up until the end when, much to my dismay, I realized that they had fixed the cherry picker and I would have to ride the scary contraption of death after all. I was so happy to get off the scary contraption of death I nearly kissed the ground. The nice gentleman who operated the scary contraption of death was certainly happy to have circulation restored to his arm after I released it.

The Daily Douse was a whole lot more fun. Especially since I could watch it from the ground.
