Oh Geez, No Breeze! (Saturday, June 24th, 2017)

We're still having a heat wave here in Arizona.  The worst heat wave in four years.  Our friends that have lived here full time, said that in the past four years they haven't reached 120 degrees, and we've been "enjoying" the 120 degree highs for almost a week now.

This morning we left the house at 8:00 to play golf, and were on the course by about 8:20, thinking that it might be a bit cooler if we went earlier.  But honestly, it seemed hotter this morning than it did on the day that we played at 120 degrees.  It took us awhile to figure out why, but we finally realized that there was no breeze today.  Not a leaf moving, nothing.  So even if we would wet our cooling gear and spray ourselves down, we just couldn't cool off. Our only hope was to spray down and then drive fast to the next hole, creating our own breeze.

We're hoping that these extremely hot temperatures will break soon, before we wilt forever. We'll keep you posted.
