Its not even 11 o'clock yet and the mercury is already at97. Like most of the South, Memphis is in the middle of a bad heatwave. I read 12 people have died because of the heat, 7 of them right here in Memphis. One of those people was a tourist here for Death Day. The high for today is 104, which is better than yesterday's 106 and Tuesday's 107.

I got a job offer yesterday. Technically I am looking for job, but not actively searching. School started on Monday, so I am waiting for people to quit their summer jobs and forplaces tohave openings. I am still trying to decide whether or not to take it. Its at a gas station, well not really a gas station. Kroger has a "fuel station" near their store. Where as a gas station has an actual store you can go inside and buy things, the "fuel station" is a box about the size of a toll booth. But that's not my biggest problem. The fuel station is about 100-150 yards away from the store, and I'd be the only person there. So if something goes wrong I am on my own, pretty much. I'd also have to bike the 2.5 there and back(I don't have a license) and Iwould have to work until l1 PM occasionally. I think I am going to pass on it and look for something else.
