Good morning everyone. We may not hit 110 today and for a few more days, then back to the grind. We don't talk about rain, 140 days without a drop in most parts of the valley including the airport and right here in Surprise.
Yeah, we had a party line to that ended in "J", and the town was big enough to have prefixes, KE2 and KE3. We had two other families on our line along with an actual dial. Pick up the phone, and you either hear a conversation going on or a dial tone. I remember when we just moved to Wickenburg in the late 90's and I picked up the phone to hear someone talking. Seems like we got cross connected to the local KFC franchise. As I remember, they got shut down shortly after when they found someone cooking drugs in the back room. Maybe if I listened to some of those calls, I'd have heard a drug deal going down...
Still got a open day today, need a few things at Walmart and that's about it.
Take care, stay safe and enjoy the day....
