Seriously: It must be a jillion degrees in the shade out there in the back yard.
Okay, okay: hold the melodrama. Let’s see what Wunderground says the temp really is:
Brrrrr! A chilly 103 degrees in the shade!
Who’d’ve thunk it was that crisp out there? Predicted high for today: 105 degrees. Tomorrow: 107.
Lovely. Garden spot!
WHY do I stay in this place????
Oh yeah: because the Kid lives here.
Be assured: if my fine son weren’t parked in this berg, I wouldn’t be, either!
LOL! Truth to tell, I’m coming to hate living in Phoenix — L.A. East. Too hot, too Los Angelized, too grody, too damn bourgeois.
{sigh}
Given that my son is parked here, though, I guess I’m not moving away. Ain’t movin’ away from where that kid lives!
His presence, though, doesn’t make me like living here any more than I already hate it.
Ohhh well: no point in belly-aching…doesn’t do any good, does it?
Hafta say: I ain’t fond of Phoenix.
Where would I go, if I could escape?
Not Sun City, that’s for damn sure!! 😀
Actually, if I were gonna stay in Arizona, one of my residence spots of choice would be the Oro Valley, a suburb on the north side of Tucson. A little wide spot situated beneath the Santa Catalina Mountains, it’s moderately upscale, reasonably safe, and very pretty. Certainly cooler during the summer.
In the absence of my son, I’d move down there in an instant.
But…he’s here. So I’m here.
And that’s that! 😀
