Yep, Hot...

 

The heat found us.  At least it wasn't excessively humid during the day.  I don't think it will be today either.  You have to be careful with the weather sites, their info varies greatly.  Even if they're reporting the same temp, there can be a huge range in heat indices.  Even though Weather Channel & Accuweather had the same temp yesterday afternoon, WC reported a heat index almost 13 degrees higher than Accuweather.  If it had be the higher index I think I would've fared much worse yesterday.

Yesterday's trip went well.  Now, that I know where it is, it won't be a problem.  The hardest part, was that the place is down an amazingly nondescript street. 

It's another day & it'll be hot again.  Hopefully tonight will be a little cooler.  Tomorrow is supposed to cool down a bit.  That'll be good.  At least it's been bright.

Take care.

Hot Trip...

 

I'm trying to get things handled this morning.  We have to be out early this afternoon.  It's going to be for a bit & it's going to be hot.  Hopefully, it will go smoothly.   

This is it for today.  Take care.

Yesterday & Still Hot...

 

Yesterday's errands went alright.  The trip wasn't bad, but it was hot & we aren't as used to going to Fort Smith as we were.  Going over there is annoying on a good day, but it was hot & the car was being a bit  weird.  Almost everything we have to deal with in that town is on the far side of it.  Drivers & traffic over there are both stupidly difficult.  Going deeper into Fort Smith than the nearest edge instantly adds 15 - 30 minutes to your trip.  That added time is almost always nothing but a frustrating series of nuisances.   I don't like Fort Smith.  It's not really a city.  It's just an overgrown whistle stop that's full of itself.

It's going to be hot for seemingly ever.  Take care & stay safe.

Trying Newish...

We went out to eat yesterday for the tail end of my birthday.  It was a place that became a chain over the last 20+ years.  I went to school where the original restaurant was in Stillwater.    I was never that fond of it there, but it'd been 20+ years since I'd been to a Hideaway Pizza.

I sort of really hate Ft Smith.   It has stupid levels of traffic in some areas & the drivers are asshats.   Yesterday turned out to be no different.  The place looked packed, it really wasn't, just deceptive parking.   

The process of getting in wasn't easy.  You had to park quite away from the door.  There was no short way into the place.  Once inside, you were immediately reintroduced to the 90s.

We got in & ordered.  The food was OK.  The service was reasonable.  The prices were more than they should've been given the quality & portion.   Hideaway went from being some post-hippie, collegiate hangout for frat bros to a bougie chain for norms.  

I'm glad we went.  It was different.   We were curious to see if the place had changed.  It had, just not for the better.  Overall, we had a new experience.  We probably won't repeat it, but it was different.  At least there's that.

Rough Outing....

I have a mostly hate/hate relationship with Fort Smith, AR.  It should take me a little over 30 minutes to get there.  It's only 37 miles to the far side of town & most of the drive is highway at 65 mph.  Sometimes I can get to Fort Smith in about 25 minutes.   Other times, it can take over an hour, just because of idiots.  

Errands in Fort smith fall into 2 categories, boon or bust, with little in between.   And both can leave you exhausted.  Yesterday's errands should've been simple.  I should've been able to hit a single store & get out.   It wound up taking 3 stores, miles apart & a lot of walking/searching to find what I needed.  I finally did, but it was exhausting & frustrating.   At least we picked up food on the way & I didn't have to cook when we got home.

I'm still tired & my feet hate me.  But we have what we were after.  Fort Smith should be renamed  Annoying Fuckery.   If it's going to be that, it should least it could be pretty about it.  It can't even pull that off well.
