Depending on who you listen to, we'll have rain this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday, on any or all days. The only thing they agree on is that we will be in the 80's through to the weekend and drop down into the very low 70's around Sunday. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......
Ahhh, the rain shows up just in time for baseball spring training which start on Thursday. I don't really care one way or the other, the only benefit that I can see is that they promise to open all the blocked lanes on one major intersection that they've been working on for months. During spring training, traffic gets backed up around a mile there before game time with all lanes open as it is. I've lived in Arizona for the best part of 60 years and have never gone to a spring training game, even though we live but about two miles from one stadium. It's not that I don't like baseball, I just don't like it enough to deal with crowds. That, plus it's not cheap. I see where you can pay close to $100 for a good seat, just to watch a practice game, yet people come in from all over the continent to do just that.
