They have been making fun of me here in the land of Saguaros and Scorpions because I have felt it was a little on the warm side. But they keep telling me (why??) that I haven't seen "nothing yet." Well it seems to me that 103 degrees is hot by any standard. Yes it will get hotter still but agree with me 103 is still hot!!
But it is a dry heat. I am sure you have heard that one before and it is true to some extent. Going from the sunshine into the shade makes a big difference. But in case you did not notice there is not much of that in the desert.
I'm not really complaining. I will have a pool I can boil in one day. The good thing is I am trying to sell my Saturn (its value recently went up considerably, :-) ) and get a Harley. I will strap some ice packs on my chest and drive down the street ....
My family recently went hiking in the Coronado National Forest (really not many trees) and witnessed that even the Saguaros get burnt up in the heat. Witness this skeleton of two giant Saguaros.
In the middle of Coronado National Forest is what is supposed to be the "most photographed" rock in the forest. It looks like a face. Click on it and check out the expression.
Now that is a face that has been ... baked, :-)
Shalom,
