No you're not. I can tell by the speedometer. Don't nobody, and I mean NOBODY drive 40 miles an hour here in the heat. Not even when they're pulling into a parking space!

I'm headed to Scottsdale in a couple weeks for a couple days. Since it's going to be near 100 here today and tomorrow with that wonderful southern New England humidity, I'm looking forward to the comfort of that dry AZ heat.

Hah! Damn you're funny!

It was 103 a few seconds before. Then it went back down to 103 a few seconds later.

Humid? Dew point was in the 50s. I didn't think it was that bad. Many 90 degree days with 70 degree dew points have been worse. Still damn hot though.

I was watching the news last night and they said Minneapolis was the hottest city in the country! I never thought I'd hear that and I doubt I ever will again.

I didn't think it was too humid, just hot.

Single digit humidity means you should drink more.

Mmmmmm, Slusheeeeeeee!! Nothing like an Orange Slurpee with a half pint of Absolute added, (simply for safety sakes mind you, the alcohol acts as as "antifreeze" and prevents those dangerous brain freezes!) , a shady spot by a pool and the afternoon to laze away.

Major fire in Arizona and 0% contained! Supposedly covering an area larger than New York City!

I'd say it's probably a bit TOO hot down there right now!

You guys are chock full of great ideas! You don't find this kind of info on Travelocity!
