Howdy, Cuttnhorse,
Yes I know Yuma well. Lived there a long time and yest 122 is just about average for a nice Yuma day where in nearly never rains. The snowbirds, while great for the encon, drove us Marines nuts trying to get to work in the morning. They would go to breakfast early and clog up the streets and it would take us even longer to get to the base.
Yuma has grown a great deal since we left. I kinda miss teh place myself. A friend is moving to Surprise AZ which is near Luke AFB.
Hi Celtic,
I'd forgotten you were, (still are) a Marine. I actually like Yuma and live close to the base, about a block from Club Yuma, of which I am a proud member. I don't do much around town because most of my time is involved with work, but I do go to Spragues every Saturday and shoot up a 100-rounds with my 9mm.
As you would imagine, the base is a very busy place...lots of activity and the Marines are a great bunch to have as part of the town. (This coming from an ex-swabbie!!)
Good to hear from you.
