    Beautiful Arizona

    May 30th:
    Just moved to Arizona . Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.


    June 14th:
    Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.


    June 30th:
    Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.


    July 10th:
    The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.


    July 15th:
    Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.



    July 20th:
    I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the upholstery. The car now smells like Kibbles and shits. I learned my lesson though - No more pets in this heat.


    July 25th:
    The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as ****.
    The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive
    by and tell me he needed to order parts.


    July 30th:
    Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now. $275,000 house and I can't even go inside.
    Why did I ever come here?

    Aug. 4th:
    It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.


    Aug. 8th:
    If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. **** heat.
    By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

    Aug. 9th:
    Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.


    Aug 10th:
    The weather report might as well be a **** recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do **** for 2 **** months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this **** desert? Water rationing will be next, so my $3700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow away. Even the cactus can't live in this **** heat.


    Aug. 14th:
    Welcome to ****! Temperature got to 128 today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the **** windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and said, 'Hot enough for you today?' My sister had to spend $1500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Arizona .
    What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here??

    Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

      Me too. I thought it was odd when you said the temp was 128 today as I could have sworn it only seemed like 125

        Twice as hot, or twice as cool?

        The high today was 63 (above zero). We have had only three or so days when the high for the day got above 70.

        Stay cool, er warm, er whatever.

        Regards, Steve

          It hasn't hit 120 even once this summer. Plus, it's raining right now.
          Opinions are like gas;
          I don't mind hearing it, but keep it to yourself if it stinks.

            Tell me about it, is clear and "warm" all week and I go to play tennis last night at 7pm and at 2 mins to 7 the heavens opened.

            We had to go to the bar instead
