Where are those cats who were telling me they miss Arizona?
8A few weeks ago someone recognized the videos I posted as being in Paradise Valley, AZ. That brought a handful of folks reminiscing about the Valley (metropolitan Phoenix area).
How you like it now? 
Temp actually reached a high of 122* on I-10 during my drive from PV down to Maricopa this afternoon. There’s a reason they call this the Valley of the Sun. More like Surface of the Sun! LOL!

~46 degrees too hot for my liking.
@FroodyFrog Coincidentally, ~64º too hot for my liking!
Well, at least you can bake cookies in your car. That’s a plus, isn’t it?
@heartny
Even though that looks like fun, it’s
probablyjust safer to get cookies from a store (or from a neighbor).@heartny Last week I put a frozen chimichanga on the dash when I got to work. By lunchtime it was so hot I burned my tongue eating it. Last year I made a meatloaf on the dash.
@FroodyFrog What if the neighbor baked their cookies on the dash?
@heartny
Then if I’m really craving a cookie, I;ll just send someone to the store since I’ll be too busy criticizing my neighbor for not baking cookies the correct way.
@heartny Probably make your car smell great too!
@mfladd @narfcake (sorry it’s not cat related)
Clicky
@FroodyFrog
Face it, you just don’t have the knowledge of where you can find certain kinds of t-shirts.
@FruityFraug
Oh shush.
@FroodyFrog @FruityFraug Ahhhhhhh! You are talking to yourself.
@mfladd
Ignore her. That’s what I do sometimes.
And fyi, it’s a good sign if someone talks to their self, it means that they’re on speaking terms with themselves.
I’m coming to Scottsdale in August. I am looking forward to the AC at the hotel
@conandlibrarian Oh! August is the WORST! We still have the heat, plus the humidity SOARS to 5% or 6%. Muggy.
@ruouttaurmind The humidity dipped in the past few days here to as low as 60%.
Currently I’m getting my first 100+ with no humidity summer. Excessive heat warning everyday for at least the last two weeks.
I’M LOVING IT!!!
@Foxborn Sedona? Moab maybe?
@Foxborn
/giphy "some like it hot"
@ruouttaurmind Nevada
@2many2no Very true
Growing up in Las Vegas, we had some similar summers; we didn’t average quite that hot but close (mid teens, and we did see 120+ at times). Same issue with those humid weeks in July-August too. And then we had a couple winters where it dropped into the teens for a solid week and we had 6" of ice on the outdoor pool…
That shit is hard on cars. Every car I ever owned there had split/damaged dashboard padding and eventually dried out and cracking upholstery, and vinyl seat covers could strip skin off of you if you got in after the car last in the sun for a few hours.
I really miss LV but probably won’t move back… its not the same town I left, way way way too many ‘others’ have moved there and changed the whole timbre of the place.
@duodec Oh ya, you feel me. The special challenges of automobile ownership in the desert. Steering wheel and seat belts so hot you can’t touch 'em. Can’t leave ANYTHING in the car 'cause it’ll melt or warp. Leather and vinyl upholstery will give third degree burns.
Last summer I absentmindedly left a 12 pack of Pepsi in the back seat after a morning trip to the market. By 4:00 10 of the 12 cans had burst and sprayed every inch of the interior, then dried into a gooey mess.
Arizona cats? Here’s one:
