Honestly, it can't be summer yet can it? Last week on our vacation we were enjoying temperatures in the mid 50's and yet today a mere two days drive away and it is already 70 degrees before 7am. Something is terribly wrong with that. Where did Spring go? Did it decide to take a vacation too? It seems as though Winter just melds into Summer with nary a daffodil blooming or robin singing.
I think of this as we are stuck in morning commute traffic in Phoenix, AZ. You remember right? The place we unloaded 11 boats from our trailer in 117 degree temperatures and thought we would pass out and melt right there onto the sticky asphalt. We do not tolerate the heat. I look at Craig in his shorts and sandals, and with the AC blasting....... oh ...and need I remind you it's now 7:15am and its 72 degrees. Kinda gives us something to look forward to. But hey, enough about the weather.
We made it into Newport Beach, CA Monday morning. We had to wait about a half mile down the road, under a freeway overpass, until the dealership moved some boats around to make room for us. It was a tight fit, but as Craig likes to say, " I haven't hit anything yet", and I hope it stays that way. We had received our next dispatch, and it was, as expected to head to Pharr, TX.
We spent the night in Tonopah, AZ, passing by Quartzsite, where even the snowbirds had flown back North for the Summer. But as always, no matter how much I complain about the southwest, it always gives me something to appreciate..... a great sunrise. Now pass the sunscreen, it's going to be a very long summer!
