I love the mountains that surround us. Anywhere you go in Phoenix, there is a mountain (or range) in sight. They're pretty. And I'm dieing to go climb and/or bike them!
The recycle bins here are full-sized. None of that dinky tub crap. Big tall bin with wheels--like a proper trash bin. And they take just about anything. And you can toss it all in together. And they come get it from your curb. How cool is that??
And yes, in the shade, it's really not bad here. Step out of the shade and you will be charred into an ugly little crisp in seconds...but the shade? It's nice.
It was actually chilly here last night. Quite gorgeous, really. It's only supposed to be around 95 for the rest of this week, which I'm quite happy about. We are trying to figure when and where to get my A/C fixed. Or whether we can somehow just get a new(er) vehicle for me altogether. The main sticking point with that is my current lack of income and the related fact that most banks are a bit reluctanct to loan out significant sums of money to slackers. Perhaps I should trot over to Monster.com for a job search instead of yakking away here.

Have you been to the stores that mist customers with cool water as they enter the front door yet?
I was in Tempe Arizona not long ago and was amazed to see these contraptions attached to the door frame of a restaurant, hair salon, etc.
The mister was activated by a laser eye detecting my approach to the door and the door magically opened as I was gently misted with cool water from three sides- I felt as if I was entering the Emerald City of Oz!
