Good morning all. My how quickly things change. It's been in the mid-70's for about a week now, then the rain forecast for yesterday went from 20% up to 80% with wind for the next few days. Last night we heard a bunch of noise on the patio and found that the rain was coming down in sheets and the wind had blown a bunch of empty boxes we had there all over. Don't know the extent of the damage until it gets light, but if was wicked for a while. As for temps, they're forecasting low temps near freezing in the mornings for this week and rain through today, typical since they start the Phoenix Open today. That might be delayed a bit though since there was heavy rain delays in a San Diego tournament and many of the golfers come from there to the Phoenix Open. You know what makes me wonder though is that the last day of the Phoenix Open always falls on the day they play the Super Bowl. When the Super Bowl is played here, the have private jets stacked wingtip to wingtip at every airport around. I guess when scabs are selling tickets for over $12,000 each, these are the only folks that can afford to buy them. We don't go anywhere when these things come to town. Tickets for some of the car auctions last week were running around $75 a day, just to walk around and see the cars and maybe a celebrity or two. The same to watch the golf at the Phoenix Open, and just try to find parking at any of these events, good luck with that. Then there's those that go only to find they've bought bogus tickets on-line.
