Good morning all. I hate to keep talking about the heat here, but we were watching the TV news last night and I'm guessing at least half of it was regarding the heat. They were talking about what to do, where to get bottles of water, interviews with the homeless and stupid hikers that insist on hiking the hills and desert regardless of the weather. There were shots of Sheriff Joe Arpio's tent city where prisoners spend the day without A/C and strip down to their issued pink underwear and reporters taking the temps of the sidewaks with laser thermometers. Yeah, the cement got to around 145, and I'm sure the blacktop was even higher.
Today, it's around 5:30 in the morning and we are already pushing 90. Yesterday, the official high in Phoenix was 116, but while we were driving home around 3 PM, we got readings of 118 most of the way, and as high as 119 in spots. We are in for another brutally hot day today, that's for sure. :o
