One Summer: Arizona Janet Kuypers 1/21/24 I met your roommate, your friends, drank iced mochas at the Coffee Plantation due to that Arizona heat. One lonely afternoon I walked to your apartment’s pool area to catch a few rays; since it was just after lunch I thought I smelled something grilling, sizzling, so I looked all directions to look for who was barbecuing. No one was in sight. I turned my head down in the heat and inhaled, and realized that I was smelling my own burning flesh. It was 120° that day, so I decided that was enough sun for me. Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale may have been fun, but this is all I can remember: the heat of Arizona smelled like burning flesh.
