Young Tarzans

Steve Layman at Anderson Layman's Blog recalls how hot the playground slides could get when he was a kid in Ohio.

Instant memories of playing on slides in my elementary school days in Phoenix, Arizona. All of the playground equipment was seriously hot. The kids moving about on what was called the Jungle Gym must have looked like fleas hopping on a griddle. Most of the teachers hid in the teachers' lounge - the air conditioned teachers' lounge - while the young savages learned to enjoy the sizzling playground equipment and the pleasure of one another's always genteel company.

Those were the days.
