Hot, hot Arizona sun
Went to the 23rd Ave wastewater treatment facility. Fun place to visit; wouldn't want to live there. Note to self: next time going on a field trip, bring water bottle and sun hat. Had neither, and suffered greatly. AJ was complaining about his sweaty balls. AJ is just like that. Learned that the one in Phoenix is pretty much like the one in Fairbanks, except larger, laid out outdoors, and they have to cool the digesters sometimes to keep them at a nice comfy 98oF. And it was also less fun to walk around.
Walking home after English class, there was a guy on the northwest corner of 19th & Dunlap with a sign. Evidently a veteran, with nowhere to turn. My plastic bottle was full of cold water. He needed it. He needed some symbolism that the rest of the world was still filled with people with at least a few of the same things to deal with as he did, and somewhere out there, someone cared about what he was up to. Walking by, I put it in his hands and walked on.
