    I lived in Arizona my whole life and whenever it is the winter, I tell myself that I can't wait until it is the summer because it gets cold lol and whenever it is the summer, I can't wait for winter lol. But I prefer the cold though. It gets way too hot here!

    Ya i live in lake havasu city az and i feel you about the heat wave we had a week or so ago. Was just plain brutal. It cracks me up seeing all the idiots hauling ##*** down the 10 when its 110+ out and they wonder why they blow tires all the time.

    It was like 92+ in Louisville today. Whats worse is I had to finger print 2,607 boxes. Bet it was 115 to 120 in the trailer

    I just reset for a second time in a week in PHX and it wasn't even close to as bad as it was last week. 114 is too dam hot for this SoCal kid. I don't even want to know what 119 is like.

    I must be living right. Missed the last heat wave in the Southwest and today I woke up in Rawlins, WY this morning it was 45 degrees. From Virginia, now heading to Seattle after SLC drop, scattered rain showers last few days across the plains and west and all is green and cool, then probably run across the top back east later this week. Sorry fellers. I might think about you sweating and aggravated in the heat, but probably not much.

    It's been pretty hot in the upper Midwest the past few days. Saturday night in Beloit the humidity was totally disgusting

    I work food service in the desert, I know it's brutal sleeping in a hot truck but it's just as bad running up and down a ramp hand trucking thousands of pounds of food in 110 degree heat, bloody lips from being sunburned is the worst
