It's hot in Northwest Arkansas. We are under a heat advisory today through Friday. The actual temperature is only expected to be in the mid 90's but with the heat index, it'll feel like it is over 100.
It is beautiful in Fayetteville right now, though. The sun is shining and there is a breeze. I gave a campus tour this morning to a visiting prospective PhD Marketing student. It was a little warm, even at 9:00.
When it's hot like this, it's the perfect time to take advantage of all of the water nearby. Fayetteville is close to the White River, Buffalo River, Elk River, Kings River, and Illinois River. Beaver lake is also very close by. As a student at the University of Arkansas, you are able to rent equipment from the Outdoor Connection Center. Visit their site for more details: http://imrs.uark.edu/8051.htm. You can get camping equipment - tents, cook stoves, etc. as well as canoes and bikes. It's a great resource.
This afternoon, after work, I am going to a local bar and grill, Grub's, for a colleague's going away party. Fayetteville provides plenty of opportunity to sit on the patio with friends.
