You know you are in ARIZONA when....

*You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
*You can say 110 degrees without fainting.
*You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
*You can make instant sun tea.
*You learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
*The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly
*You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
*You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.
*You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
*Hot water now comes out of both taps.
*It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
*You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
*You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.
*No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
*Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

You are totally telling the truth about every one of those things...I now start my six months of bad mood...I much prefer the cool weather...I was thinking yesterday driving past the park and kids are out for summer and no one was there and I thought how sad is that... One of those things that make you go HHHMMMMMM!!!

Okay, that is too funny! Just tonight Brad and I were saying how nice it felt outside and that it was probably all the way down to 98 degrees! Great post!
