Yesterday was hot. Today will be hot. Tomorrow will be hot tamale. Sorry I couldn't help it. A really old joke that, somehow, seems prescient today. It was so hot in Phoenix yesterday...'how hot was it'?...it was so hot in Phoenix yesterday the Phoenicians were able to embalm Joe Arpaio and wrap him up like the mummy he'd become quite some time ago. On a good day Arpaio looks like The Mummy. You know, like that Mummy dude from the movies of the same name? Yeah, that Mummy. Okay so, it's freaking hot a ways out here in the old Amerikan West and what with the dust and the smoke and 1% humidity levels you can desiccate already dried beef sticks in about 3 minutes. You know, turn beef jerky into jerkier beef jerk? Although if some intrepid soul were to make a YouTube video of that exact process, well, it'd probably go viral in about as much time as it might take to render up a video like that. Yeah just like that. I've never ever recorded a humidity level of 1% and not never ever. I used to think that a lack of humidity like that was dang near impossible. Well it is not. I wonder what happens meteorologically if the humidity drops below zero? Do dried up lifeforms implode? Simply blow away like dust on the wind? I suppose we just might find out here real soon. On to today's version of 'holy hot screaming dust balls' it's time for the machine art. You know, before the digitally engineered images MELT! Yikes it is damn hot.
