Arizona.....warm and cold

I love it here in sunny arizona.
It may hit 70 today here in the phoenix area but there's 7 feet of snow just one and a half hours north of town in flagstaff.
So, I can layout today and maybe go snowboarding thursday.
Oh yea, there's no expensive insurance or property tax like in florida.
I don't know how those people in the northern states can stand it.

Sounds good, but how hot does it get in mid summer?

Used to visit a vendor in Phoenix. They mentioned that the Little League games were played at 5 am hmmmm......

I did enjoy Tucson when I was stationed at D-M.

Crime.....only on the south west side of phoenix. Everywhere else is just like anywhere else.
ALASKA.......burrrrrr, it's so cold there the airplanes can't even fly.
Even on the HOTTEST of days the airplanes fly here in arizona and I wear my shorts, hat, suntan lotion, ice water and play golf all day long.
But, I like alaska, been there done that.

I remember in 1989 it reached 122 degrees at Sky harbor airport in phoenix and the planes quit flying for several hours.

other than that, I never had to shovel sunshine
