Good morning all, and happy Fourth of July to all in the USA. No, I will not go watch the fireworks, there'll be enough noise from a few of my neighbors, city fireworks goes off about two miles from my house, but there are too many other houses blocking the view for me to go see anything.
Speaking of walking, there are several mountains surrounding the Phoenix area, just about all have hiking trails. Most are closed when the temps reach 100, but we had a family go up one the other day when it was 113. They had to be rescued by helicopter, but a 10-year old by did not make it. We lose a few 100 people a year due to the heat, it's just crazy to do something like that, but they do.
Today could hit 116, I'm staying indoors. Pat is having a family get-together later today, and that's it for my celebrating.
Have a great day, be careful and stay safe...
