Default Tomato Rot?

"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.

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?
