Yeah no kidding. Just another day in the neighborhood in Arizona. I went for the daily exercise bike ride this afternoon, it felt like someone was holding a blow-dryer on my face. No big deal, if you get through June-Sept, the rest of the year is quite nice. It would be nice if Texas would export some of that rain over this way though.
