Supposed to cool down into the 70's on Friday and Saturday again. It's awesome that we've only reached 100 once so far.

I know.


In 2009, on May 21st, there was a rare bird sighting (Yellow-billed Loon, who should have been in the arctic by then) on Tempe Town Lake - it was 115 degrees out when I saw it. Right now the forecast for that day this year is upper 80's

No good. I feel for moms who are far along in the summer here. As a fat guy who is always carrying around a set of triplets, summer time sucks!

At least I won't be working. :) Guess there is a reason I haven't gotten a job outside of education yet.

My back yard was more flooded last night than anytime I can remember and I have been at this house 17 years. Tatum & Dixileta.

I went to the Cardinals-Saints game there a couple years ago in September. It rained the entire time, essentially. Was crazy but I do love the rain. I really liked it there.

Actually, I hate to say it, but I spent some time in Seattle for work back in February. I really liked it there.

Don't tell my fiance though, she'd be pushing for us to move there.

I'm at a cabin in payson. Got some hail and heavy rain. We are right on the east Verde river and it went from creek sized to carrying trees down itself

Love the monsoons, but not when it's just dust. Always hopeful that there will be rain behind the wall of dust!
