I think that Lookout was merely mentioning that the sun was ever shining in AZ. Here in Ohio we could use a big, fat dose. It's been ages since we've seen anything remotely resembling the big star. So freaking depressing!*

Was talking to a business contact the other day...

...Well, she told me that they were in the twentieth day of +100 deg F temps. Continuous, night and day, never below +100 deg.

we haven't seen 100 deg yet this year. we are probably more than a month from getting that hot and we don't get to 20 + consecutive days like that until mid - late summer.

i know everyone has heard "but it's a dry heat", but there is some truth to it. i am from Rock Island, Illinois. @85 degrees with humidity in illinois is a lot more uncomfortable than 105 in the desert.

i don't really know how to compare energy costs other than to say that i have a 2300 sqft home with a pool (electric pumps) and my energy bill is $140/month.
my last house was 1300 sqft with no pool and my bill was $130.

both places i keep it at 76 deg in the summer and 72 deg in the winter.

is that expensive compared to back east?

Fine, you got it. Just wait for the end of the day.

Up here at the 48th parallel, the days get longish in the summer. Really, like it's DAYTIME at 5:00 in the morning and still light enough to read the newspaper on the porch at say, 9:30 at night. That's with having the shift in favor of a darker morning at this time of the year.

But I still have found it difficult to d-r-a-g myself out of bed Monday and Tuesday morning. Still sleepytime...,*yawn*

Pimms is a very english thing, it's a gin derivitive or sorts with quinine, bitters and 'herbs'. Mixed with champers or lemonade it's a wonderful summer afternoon (just the right strength for all afternoon) drink.

Sounds like a mint julep.
