Phoenix

Who could live in Phoenix
Where the temps are through the roof?
The heat is causing flights to cancel;
That’s sufficient proof.

I’m sure there must be upsides
But it’s not the place for me.
One hundred seventeen!* ‘Bout sixty’s*
What I like to see.

*temperatures (in Fahrenheit)

I am very uncomfortable in very hot weather. Was in Tuscon once. It was so hot even the pool water was too warm to cool off in! How do people at the equator put up with it? Spring and autumn are my favorite seasons. / M

I read this morning they were expecting 120f in Phoenix and north, up in Flagstaff the high 90s and most in Flagstaff doesn't have air conditioning. Sweltering. Nicely written Ilene.

They also have some of the worst dust storms but if you think Phoenix is hot. Don't go on down to Yuma or Nogales. Stay cool Mrs Ilene:)
