Another summer memory for me is the smell of fresh asphalt on the streets. My hometown always put a layer of hot asphalt on the streets in early August. Football practice started each year on August 15. Two a day practices in 90-100 degree temperatures IS NOT FUN!!!!!!!!! Therefore I still associate the smell of fresh asphalt to the beginning of football practice, getting strawberries (grass burns) on my elbows and knees, the sweat getting in my chinstrap and chafing by chin, doing up and downs until you felt like you couldn't move another muscle, getting yelled at by the coaches ... Yuck!
