YOU BETCHA!!
Awww - I didn't say I couldn't hack it, I just said I didn't like it!! I still live here don't I?
And I would absolutely HATE to live in some places in your state Terry! Rolled into Mesa one night, after it had been close to 120 there one day, it was still 113 at 10PM! Decided right there that I would never be moving there unless a perfect job opportunity came up.
This year has been significantly better, actually very mild in comparison to the previous few years. We are coming to the tail end (hopefully) of a vicious drought cycle that has produced some scorcher summers that begin in April and extend to November. 2009 and 2011 were record breaking years here. In 2009 we tied the previous record of 68 total 100 degree plus days, in 2011 there were 90. It was absolutely brutal. 2010 Wasn't that bad as far as extreme high heat was concerned, there were only 8 100 plus degree days, but from May 1 to September 26th, with only a few sparse exceptions, the highs were in the 90's and the lows only dipped below 80 once or twice during that whole period!
To top it off, I didn't have any AC in my car from 2008 to 2011, four summers of pure hell. Sure glad I have it now. You can say what you want about my Kio Rio, but I make sure that AC works like a champ!!
HOOK 'EM!
