Good morning all, and a happy Monday to you all. Phoenix broke a record yesterday, it got up to 97. The old record was 95. Today should be a repeat, they say 96, which should be a record again. Temps here in Surprise vary by a few degrees and so does the records, but I have no idea just how hot it gets here in Surprise, since only occasionally do they give you those numbers on TV, and my outdoor thermometer is about as reliable as sticking your hand out the window to tell the temperature. 
Chief, good luck on moving all that stuff. We had a cabin up in Prescott a good many years ago, and when we put it up for sale, it was a whole lot easier to just sell it fully furnished, TV and VCR included... No way was I going to try to move that stuff, plus we had no room or need for it elsewhere.
You're right about that "breakthrough". Let's hope it doesn't have to go through five or ten years of "clinical trials" before it's released for use costing some astronomical sum per dose. There was a recent article on some generic drugs going through the roof. One guy said he was paying just a few dollars a month for one drug he was taking and now it's up to over $1,000 for the same thing. Turns out these drug companies found that they can squeeze the public and raise prices a lot higher and still be under the price of brand names.
