This afternoon I captured this guy on my cell phone camera. He was standing on the Newport Ave bridge, just as we were exiting the freeway. The temperature outside was 109 degrees F, according to the thermometer in our car.


I imagine the temperature recorded high, because the thermometer was catching the heat rising up off the asphalt. Which means, this guy was probably catching it too.

There's not much effort involved in tipping a sign up and down on a tripod, but to stand there in 109F temperature, for I don't know how many hours, has got to be tough.

How hot does the temperature have to get before a sign twirler like this guy asks himself, "Do people think I'm insane, or desperate?"
