It's that time of year again. Summer in Phoenix, AZ. I guess I sort of have a love/hate relationship with the Phoenix summertime. There are things I really enjoy about it. When you're inside and you walk out into the heat, it's like walking into a sauna. You get hit with that blast of hot air, and it actually can feel really good.
The summer can be not so great too though. When it's going to be 118 and it's Tuesday... Buyer's Edge day at the post office. That means that I've got to carry all those newspaper like advertisements, and I have a 12 mile walking mail route. Sure it's good excercise, and it means I can eat pretty much whatever without worrying about gaining weight, but it's not much fun when it's almost 120 degrees.
Not that I'm complaining. I'm happy to have work, and I really do enjoy living in 'The Valley'. I even like the heat up to around 108 or so. And when the rest of the country is getting snow this coming winter and someone gets mad about my getting a chuckle out of it, I'll calmly remind them about how they were so condescending about my summer :-)
