good morning

It is 5:30 am. The sun is just starting to rise, birds have been singing now for about half an hour... and I have not slept a wink.

it's so dang hot... arizona was a bad choice... (but not entirely)

It is getting to the ridiculous portion of the summer. The part where the pool is too hot to swim in, where you burn your hand on the handle while trying to enter the house, where you burn your feet THROUGH YOUR SHOES while standing on the sidewalk.

And this isn't even as bad as it is going to get. A few summers back, it got up to 126. That was a bad day. I wore dress pants to work that day. In all reality, anything beyond 110-115 is just plain hot. So it it doesn't even matter what the temperature is beyond that point, I guess.

Despite this, it has been nice to be here. I have grown up a lot this summer, I think.

on the road.

just about 3 more hours until home.

sean and i this morning in beaver,

I just found out about this thing called the Book of Jer3miah. How did I not hear about it before??

Read a NYT article about it.

It is made at BYU and filmed on campus and around Provo. It's strange seeing places I go everyday as the setting for a web series. It's really well done, so check it out!
