Good morning everyone, a nice few days here, but then as they say, "changes are a comin'..." They're still forecasting temps over 115 for this weekend, but the 119 is now moved to Monday. There was a mother, who must be new to the area, that wanted to cool her baby off and so she turned the hose on to fill the wadding pool. Well, the baby was doused with the water and wound up with second-degree burns over a good portion of its body. A hose that's left out in the sun still has water in it and it can reach very high temps. Most people that's lived here for a few years knows that and it's a pity that the baby has to suffer, that's just the way it is here in the summertime and everyone needs to be careful. You can also get some serious burns touching metal on a vehicle that's been out in the sun for even a short time, believe me, I know.... :oops: Lots of people don't even touch their steering wheels for a few minutes after taking off. Why the make and sell cars here in Arizona that have black seats, black dashes and black steering wheels is beyond my comprehension. Our van is that way and I can't even touch the gearshift knob without getting burned. Black cars are also making a comeback here and I can't understand that either.
