Hot Tamale? by grannysue

Hot Tamale?

Burrrrrr - itos, no, but it is going to be hot tamale again. It was 101 today and this poor guy was standing on the side of the highway holding a sign pointing to the new burrito place. I hope he either owns it or they pay him well. You have to admire him. Notice the water bottle on the ground beside him. I would have needed a water cooler, a picknic umbrella, a fan or two and a water mister at the least.
It is beginning our series of 100+ degree weather in Texas.

Check out my other album, I posted one there today that I took after I posted this one and I think I like it more.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions on my photos they are appreciated. Thank you for looking.
I was just thinking of a trip to Austin and all I could think of is how hot the next three months will be.

I'm with you. I would be melting in that temperature. And i like how you positioned your signature. Looks like someone's been busy scribbling their stamp around the city. (wink)

Poor guy! Hope he kept his cool!

Looks like he's found the one bit of shade there to stand in! I hope people buy some burritos!

Hope his efforts are not in vain.

Poor guy. I guess you do what you have too but I notice his sign is almost pointing down.
June 14th, 2011  
hahaha. poor guy.

@vernabeth @carriesmart He moved around and back and forth, I suppose to show the sign. He was out there every afternoon last week, I saw him on my way home. My sign would be pointing down also after the sweltering heat!

Texas is always a hot place to me, do you ever have cold weather ? This guy looks exceedingly hot !

@happypat Yes, we do. We have ice and snow where I live near Fort Worth and of course, Amarillo gets more of it. It is extremely hot here during the summer. It is already 100+ . I dread thinking of July and August, which are typically hotter than June!

@mlvera The store is not too far from where he is standing, just across a parking lot. I would have thought that he would wear lighter clothes, but he has been wearing dark ones every time I see him.

@reanne Thanks! I was inspired by someone else to find creative ways to put the signature, can't always find one , but I like this one.

The picture just radiates heat.
June 15th, 2011  
@janek It does. I looked for him yesterday, as I passed on my way home and he was not out there at that time. Maybe he has had enough of the heat.
June 16th, 2011  
yes, this does radiate heat as @janek said. makes you want to just lie down under an umbrella drinking cold cocktails...lol

@danig
@sitiodown I'd rather work inside at a fast food place or anywhere inside where it's cool!
June 17th, 2011  
Hahah! I want one too :D This is so funny - I love walking signs!
