If I did, the box wouldn't hold up long enough to make it to Arizona. Heck, It wouldn't make it to the SD line.

Today's low temperature is 97.7, at 6 AM.  Looks like another 120 day coming on.

See, it's 55 here right now. high 60s and rain today.

Around Tuesday, high 80s and heading for mid 90s by the weekend... But always down in the 50s at night for sweet relief.

I do not go outside.  I have a bad case of fibromyalgia and my body does not regulate heat.  I get hotter and hotter and hotter, my face turns red, and I faint.  Am packing my bag and will be at your porch later today.  44444heart

What is this "rain" of which you speak?  LOL.  The Castle rain gauge shows 0.45 inches of the stuff this year.

Don't come here!  Bullhead City is where people go to shrivel up and die in the heat.

LOL! Yeah... I have fibro too... Though I have largely figured out how to shut it off... Or rather not to let it get started, so I get it. But I sit out on the porch every night in the cool of the evening, maybe even under a blanket, and I would not trade that for anything. I am pretty good, even on hot days, as it is usually quite comfortable till late afternoon. So I can go outside most of the time.

It's a nice slow spring rain. Supposed to go all day. Grass is growing to beat the band.

When one has a gravel lawn, grass is the enemy.  Outside of our "lawn," the landscape is all "natural desert," meaning lots of Manzanita and cacti.

I've been replacing a portion of my wood fence that my tangerine tree had kept from falling down for many years. Well the tree died in the freeze so I'm slowly replacing the fence. I can only work on it for 3 to 4 hrs each day in this heat and humidity. I go thru 2 or 3 t-shirts, with several water breaks. When I got night leg cramps, I realized I was not replacing all the salt I was sweating out. So now I re-salt at each break. No more cramps. I'm now down to just replacing the last half of a double gate, so I can again get out my 53Willys, 56Chev 3/4T, and lowboy.

Ahh... MoBedda... On the laptop now instead of the chromebook...

Pardon me if I say your yard looks like a barren furnace to me...  :laugh:

Needs piney woods and water... But, I don't know what it is like not to mow all the time. Till it cooks off, my back yard needs it twice a week. Thankfully my son came by last night and gave it a whirl, because if all this rain had hit it, it would have been too wet for days.

I been there... get to chuggin on the PowerAde too. I guess I ain't ever had it like you. but I have raked asphalt in 100 degree temps. And considering my penchant for high mountain snows, that took some doing.

Maybe you could get done early and sit your butt in a river somewhere or something... Though maybe that's like sitting in warm tea down by you. Up in here, the rivers are still too cold to stay in em. Even the lakes are still icy till mid July or so. But man is that clear  cold water refreshing when August gets here.

Here, 120 is "seasonally hot."  But, we usually don't see 120 degree days until July-August.

The wife and I lived in Dallas in 1980 when she was pregnant with our son.  We has 56, I believe,  consecutive days where the temperature went over 100.  Back then it was called summer.

I lived near there that Summer, and I remember it well.  It inspired me to pull up my shallow stakes and move to Phoenix so I can really do the heat up right....

In 1980 I was shoveling St Helens ash and incidentally, graduating high school. That was a sh*tty summer.

Your desert (Sonoran) is much prettier than mine (Mojave).  I've taken visitors out to the Sonoran Desert out towards Florence Junction after a spring rain, and the flowers are amazing!  That desert is full of life, and plants, and birds and things...

Sonoran plants do thrive here when introduced.  My next door neighbor has two nice Saguaros.

I worked a well out in Nevada many years ago about 90 miles north of Vegas, and we got what would be a light drizzle by ND standards. The whole desert went nuts for a couple of days with a riot of blooms. Beautiful. Just beautiful, but a long, somewhat drab wait between rains...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I was working a pipeline job in the Mojave Desert.  There was a light drizzle for a few hours with 1/4 inch of accumulation.  That night they spent 20 minutes on the evening news talking about it.  In the Texas Gulf Coast, that would be normal morning dew....
