  2. article Such the Spot - Soaring summer temperatures sit well with me

    Wednesday, August 29, 2012 10:52 am

    There are plenty of things I don’t like about being a desert dweller. Namely: rattlesnakes, scorpions, lizards, and spiders (especially the hairy beast of a tarantula I had to sweep off my front porch last week). While those creepy, crawly, slithery critters keep me constantly on my toes, there are other parts of life in Southern Arizona that leave me happy as can be. Believe it or not, I love the heat. No really, I do. I know that our Tucson temperatures are a little on the extreme side, but overall, the climbing mercury warms my heart. Both literally and figuratively. I’m sure that sounds delusional to someone from, oh, say Michigan. Truly, though, the soaring temperatures of the summer months sit well with me.
