Spring is over – hello, Summer. The radar is now turned on for shade as the days get hotter and our closed cars start baking. And so it begins, the old Phoenician pastime of drivers crazily searching for the itty bitty strands of shade that might protect them and their cars from the onslaught of hotter and hotter days. This coming week we are forecast to approach the 90’s (32c) and just two weeks ago the heater was still on – there are some things you never get used to living in Phoenix, Arizona.

Suffer you mid-west dogs. While you try to deal with blizzards, white outs, monster snowdrifts – in other words, the dread of winter, we bask in the sun of perpetual perfection here on this beautiful spring day in Phoenix, Arizona. In three months I’ll be choking on a dust storm or two and sniffling with half of the local population suffering from allergies, but come on, look out there – NO, not the smog layer, the blue skies, and red rocks.
