Well Jeff, I moved here for the hot and dry and knew what I was in for. Surprise, we had a very cool summer here last year. Only a few days of being hotter then the hinges to the gates of hell. The guys like to get to the lake bed just before sunrise then fly until 10 or 11 then beat feat over to one of the casinos for the cheap breakfast/brunch. I don't like getting up that early so I often wait until late in the day and fly until the sun goes down. Some people wouldn't understand that but when the sun goes down behind the mountain it's like someone turned off the lights.
I also just go down the road and fly at Bill Bennetts old house off of LVB, get in a few flights and drive home. It's less then ten minutes drive.
How many dead do you think you would have in MN if it hit 115 with the humidity?? Scary thought isn't it. I never sweated so much as when it hit 80 in Missouri. My rich uncle thought I should live in the Ozarks for a couple years so they removed my young hinder from the beach in Calif. and deposited my young butt there in July. Rich uncle has a sense of humor!!!
