Georg kindly agreed to sit by the car so I could sneak away for a half hour nap. But instead, I'm just sitting in the hotel room enjoying the quiet. Not to mention the air conditioning.
The heat is brutal out there. I had been checking weather.com, and thinking that it would only be a little bit hotter than in NC. Well, I was wrong. When they say "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" they aren't kidding. All we're doing is sitting by the car talking to people, but in this heat it takes a lot out of you.
OK, it's about time for me to head back out and give Georg a break. We have to stay with our cars to talk with spectators. Normally I wouldn't feel obligated, but the town of Mt. Dora is generously compensating us to be here, so I really ought to be out there pressing the flesh when they want us to be there. We're off duty at 5. We'll have dinner in town (they gave us two $25 vouchers! on top of the stipend and the hotel room! that's what I mean about generous) and then later tonight the art car people are throwing a birthday party for Hamburger Harry. I tried to find a photo online of his Hamburger Harley, but all I found were photos of a Harley rally in Hamburg. So y'all will have to wait until I get my photos posted. I promise it will be worth the wait. The Hamburger Harley is amazing.
