I Love Arizona.Hot as Hell...Beautiful as Heaven

[liberaltrucker]

Unloaded and spent the night in Phoenix Wednesday night.
Loaded in Tucson this afternoon. Thank(insert Diety) my A/C
worked. All I gotta say is, Y'all Arizonians(sp) are some hearty
MOFO's. Y'all have my undying respect. :toast:

1. My dear liberaltrucker!

Glad to hear that your a/c is working!

Arizona is beautiful, that's for sure!

And now where are you off to?



:loveya:

:hug:

5. Atlanta

:puke:

Pays good $$ though.

:hug:

2. Went to Tombstone last summer for vacation.

Hubby didn't have a twinge of arthritis the whole time. My sinuses never bothered me. If it weren't for the politics of the people there, I'd move to Arizona to live.

6. I spent the night in TS a few yrs back

Felt like I was in the 1880's. Except the beer was cold.

3. I've never been there, but have heard that from others....

...I need to check it out.

7. Don't believe the BS about dry heat

True you don't feel so hot, but you are. Sweat evaporates very
quickly. AZ is one unique experience. Just be prepared. And enjoy.

4. I loved it there

lived there for several years in Phoenix, but got up to Payson, Flagstaff, and Jerome whenever I could. I almost moved to Bisbee, too; that and Jerome are the 2 most favorite towns in the US...

8. And you're complaining

about the Edmonton heat? :rofl:

Hey enigmatic! :hug: Sleeping better, I take it? I am!! :bounce:

[enigmatic]

9. I've become a heat wuss!

:hug:

The first summer I lived there was the year it hit 122F; that was the most bizarre day I've ever had there. When the long-time natives all stayed inside and the city ground to a halt, I knew it was bad....

[u4ic]

11. And, dammit

did you think FT McMurray shut down when it was -53C? Nooooo...:crazy:

I hate the heat, too. I grew up in southern Ontario, and it was awful - no a/c in a brick house, I used to get a combined total of about 5 hours sleep the whole summer.

I knew that whoever wrote the line "you could cut the air with a knife" had been to TO when it got to 35C. You literally couldn't breathe, with all the humidity and smog...

[enigmatic]

12. Oh man, yes

Mrs E is from TO and she tells about that as well; to me, I don't think I can't handle that too long...

[liberaltrucker]

10. Edmonton, AB? Heat? Does not compute.....

*hard drive sends :wtf: error message*

[u4ic]

14. It was in the early-mid 90's

here for over a week...that's a heat wave for us! :hi:

(I should also point out that full sundown occurs at almost midnight, and by 4:30, sunup. The sunlight is very intense, as we have a short growing season, and have to make up for it.)

A couple of years ago, it did hit 36C - that's 97F.

[liberaltrucker]

15. Point taken

:hi:

[u4ic]

17. Most people are surprised

that it can get hot here (not hot!, but hot).

It's the extremes that are the worst, however; 35 above in the summer to -35 in the winter. (95F to -31F)

[Placebo]

13. I love AZ, I used to go out there every summer...

but I could never live there. The heat didn't bother me, since it's a dry heat (it's the humidity that kills me) but I'm too much of a city boy at heart. :)

[liberaltrucker]

16. Me neither

Beautiful place to visit, though.
