8/13/10

Today is August 13, 2010 (just to leave a record in these historic documents I'm writing) and it has been close to 100 degrees for a long, long time. Days. Weeks.

Our sign guys have been installing vinyl on vans, trailers, and ambulances throughout this hellacious weather. Vinyl seems to change to chewing gum in this heat. And people change to zombies. We don't have a garage. Just an asphalt parking lot and a couple of trees. (We didn't know that vehicle wraps were going to turn out to be our best seller when we rented this retail location.)

I went to the shop today to see how things were going. Now you tell me - what is the first thing you think when you see a box fan sitting in the back door of an air conditioned building blowing cool air out? I thought for a while, certain there was a good reason for this strange spectacle. There were a couple of dogs inside the shop. Maybe the guys were giving them a view of outside.

Pretty soon I went to the back again and the fan was off and the door was shut. Turns out they had been sawing wood (literally, not snoring) and blowing the smell out the door.

I guess their zombie brains hadn't turned to chewing gum after all!
