And a good morning to ya all. Just looking over the weather stats, and there's no rain in there until about Thursday. One thing that surprised me is that the record high for our city (Surprise, AZ) for today is 121° back in 1995. I haven't a clue where the weather station here is, I'm assuming somewhere close to City Hall. In Phoenix the weather stats are always taken at the airport. The record high for there today is 115. We live about 25 miles from there, as the crow flies... The only airports we have here in Surprise are an emergency landing strip for Luke AFB just to the north of us, and a small strip used to fly R/C planes. Surprise is on the landing approach to Luke, which is about 10 miles directly to the south. BTW, they are preparing Luke to have six squadrons of F-35's, the first in the country.
