We had a lot of rain this summer. Most I’ve seen in my time here. On the bright side of heavy storms, the temperatures were wonderful compared to past summers. Very few days above 110 which is very live able in this area given low humidity.

Flagstaff is an amazing and beautiful place. I wish I could live there.

You ain’t never lied !

After 40+ years living there to pay their ‘Paradise Tax’, I left the highest cost of living available in the state.

Minimum wage, will buy you Ph.D. and Masters degrees to flip your burgers and stock your shelves

Purty though, but the nastiest Turkey Trap (Tourist) on Route 66.

It has been very active , probably one of the most active on the 13 yrs I have lived here. Not as bad as yours but more than normal. There is still standing water everywhere. I guess global warming is to blame;)
