I have notice that one of my tomatoes has developed rot at the bottom of
this tomato.

The tomato plant is a Aunt Ruby's German Green. The outdoor temperature has
been in the high 90's. No others are showing this problem.

Is this just a bad tomato or should I be worried about this problem?

 "Blossom End Rot" is a very common disease.  It is caused by dry spells and
lack of calcium.  Try using a sprinkler hose and putting crushed egg shells
around each plant.

 You could put some powered milk around the plant for quick fix but a
little lime will take care of it for the rest of the summer.    If you
water, water the soil, not the leaves.
