howdy,

i know many of you have been where it is hot this summer. on our recent trip it was over 100 degrees as we were in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio....and yes 100-105 degrees is warm. but just kinda not so warm when you live in Mesa AZ. This year we have already had 86 days over 100 degrees and 21 days over 110.

this past week has been quite toasty. hit 117 yesterday and been over 110 for most of the past ten days. below is a snapshot from the local mesa online weatherstation that isnt far from our house.

   

yesterday it rained at our house for a few brief moments, just enough to wet the streets. over 110 and rain....sometimes the "its a dry heat" thing doesnt pan out.

i have learned that 100-108 or so is perfectly ok. 108 to 117 is just plain hot.

so, if you come to visit us in the summer, then you are always welcome to stay in the house with us. darlene likes it in the low 70's.

but....the winters are incredible....

happy travels

tom
