APRIL IS NOT THE CRUELEST MONTH

Not in Arizona. The poet erred. If I had to pick one month to visit AZ, it would be in April.

Even now, our weather is superior. No rain. No chance. Not until late June at the earliest. And we are in our 73rd straight day of no precipitation. Now, don't get me wrong; it's not all good news. We badly need rain. I would easily trade a day or days of golf for a good gully washer. But it ain't gonna happen.

So what do we do? Anything you want outside. There simply are no cancellations. No change of plans. Because we know. We can plan on temps in the 60's for lows, 80's or 90's for highs. But as far as the scene in the picture in Phoenix. Well, that was earlier in the year. We also know what awaits us.

That's scary. Thirty-one days last Summer of temperatures at least 110. Even with 1% humidity, that's hot. It may not be as bad as 98 degrees with 98% humidity, but it's close. And you know there's no relief.

But until that weather hits, we're in the driver's seat. Golf pries are so cheap that we played The Phoenician Golf Course yesterday and we have a tee time there for Thursday, too. It's a great time right now. In only a few short weeks, AZ will be a great place to avoid. Unless you truly, truly hate rain.
