Like Billy, I endured some insufferable summers in Phoenix. I spent 28 years at Lake Tahoe (elevation at my house 7, 000 ft.), and now I am in Montana. I am more willing to suffer through -20 than 70 days over 100. Whew!

In metro Phx it usually hits the first 100 degrees in early June and stays that way for July-August and into September. ALL days, except maybe 4 or 5 where it "only" gets to 98 or 99. Folks there complain when they get X number of days above 110. Temps in the 115 range are not unusual in July & August. I remember, vividly, walking a dog at midnight one year and looking at a bank sign that showed the temperature. Midnight and it still was 100. After a while that was enough. From than on, think the last was about 1992 or so, my Summers were in Flagstaff ( which is like Oregon ) or up in Washington state, until finally relocating here in 1999. Do you have a swimming pool ? That helps. Billy message dated 9/13/2011 7:22:03 P.M.

That last one was a bit of a shocker, there. David -- "Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine."--P. J.
