I think it was about ‘96 i traveled west somewhere and on one of what used to be radiator boil over days of 103 in the shade there was a hot laid blacktop job going on. Had to be miserable.
The contractor was Flatiron Paving Company out of some place like Tuscon or Tempe.
the hottest because they have required all reporting weather stations to move their measuring devices half the distance to the ground...
yeah, thats the ticket
