Not as hot as out West, here in Ohio. But Midwest humidity adds to the miserable factor. I write to tell a story. Here goes. As a teen, I would find jobs at gas stations and tire stores to learn more about how to work on cars. One tire store I worked at I still have fond memories of many “initiations” I received as a newbie. The Assistant Manager was a character. One particularly hot week, this manager, Gill, made an exclamation I will never forget. He said, “it’s hotter than a freshly f@&ked fox in a flaming forest fire!” On hot days, that memory brings a smile to my face.
