Summer Fun in Phoenix

Yes folks it’s that time of year. The photo below was taken on my back porch at 9 AM. Yes, at 9 o’clock in the morning it was 110F degrees in the shade. I would have taken a picture of the thermometer in the pool as it reads 96F degrees. Ever try to cool off in the pool when it’s hot enough to poach an egg? Yesterday the high was about 118F degrees at my house. The news always reports what the temp is at the airport but no one actually lives at the airport except the poor schlubs who are traveling on America Worst Airlines. We thought of BBQ’ing some chicken last night but after walking outside I did not want to be more well-done than the chicken. Standing over a kettle of 1800 degree burning embers is not my idea of fun when your feet are sizzling through their soles while you stand on the porch.
