Phoenix! "Snowmen" we used to make out of tumbleweed. Seriously. This was
before central AC was ubiquitous -- people everywhere swam in outdoor pools
in the middle of the night, to cool off. I remember a plastic spatula and a
cassette tape getting left in the car when I was a kid . in the morning they
were puddles of melted goo. But god it was good dry heat. Not the walk
into the sauna that happens when you go outdoors in Missouri summer. I had
grandparents in Prescott -- a cousin of mine lived up in the mountains and
used
to sit outdoors under a tree and hand-feed deer and squirrels and tree frogs
and anything else that came by .. they were entirely unafraid. Maybe there's
a genetic quirk -- my 12 year old has mice, ferrets, cats, fish, birds, and a
dog and so far no carnage.
