Good morning all, chilly around here by our standards, but the forecast calls for mid-70's by the end of the week. Our highs have been in the mid to high 60's, but several mornings I've found frost on our windshield. Lots of snow up in the high country and skiers are having a ball there. Getting ready for yet another onslaught of visitors with the golf tournament and a bunch of auto auctions coming up, then in a few weeks comes spring training....
They're fixing up a bunch of roads around our area and now I know why. When the shut down Bell Rd. to build that overpass, (the busiest road in the Phoenix area) for eight months, the bypass is going to be less than a mile north of us, a road that we take several times a day to get our of our neighborhood.
Not only that, they'll have one less lane in each direction so I can just imagine us not able to go anywhere during the day. Traffic is bad enough with three lanes open, you can only guess how bad it'll get with just two. 
Oh joy! Well, they're going to wait until after spring training is over before they start construction. :wait:
