1. I truly enjoy

Sitting out in my backyard in the shade in 105° heat with a slight breeze.

7. Without the breeze I'd be fine, but with the breeze, I might need a hoodie

2. SIL and her husband actually rented an

apartment in Milwaukee (their hometown) for 4 months starting May 15. They live in Phoenix. We will be going up there for 2 weeks late August. Pretty bad when you have to leave your home due to unlivable heat.

3. "have to" and "unlivable" contradicted by the millions of us

who contentedly remain through the summer. Less crowded roads, stores and restaurants are a partial recompense.

5. many people leave the hot lower desert for the nearby mountains

it was common from the late 1800s till air conditioning was ubiquitous in the 1960, or 70s to leave for a good part of the summer.

8. Yes, just like many people leave the upper

midwest and northeast during the winter months. Many people have also left there permanently.

[Ptah]

4. I'm comfortable, 88 F inside.

6. got to 101 inside for a little while this afternoon.

fortunately it does start to cool off outside about the time it gets the worst inside. and I still have my bag of water on sticks that MFM gifted me 11 years ago.
