We just hit 100 for the first time this year.

I'm inside looking out. But in about 2 hours I have to drive home.

It's a price you pay for 60 degree winters when the rest of the country is burried under a foot of snow or sub zero temps.

Actually this will only be my second cooling season with real air at the house- before that I had an accursed swamp cooler.

You just hit 100 there? Here in the San Joaquin Valley in CA, we've had 100+ temps for about a week.

And I'm sure Phoenix has, too. But Tucson is a bit higher and surrounded by mountains, so it's usually a bit cooler.

Hell, yes - I haven't had to turn on my A/C yet. Although that should change in about 90 minutes when I go home.
