That describes life here for two months of the year with average daily temps of 105-112.

But you got humidity there. That's nasty. "It's a dry heat" is the catchphrase used to lure retirees to this region.

Humid heat creates a sweaty suffering and breathing difficulty that is unbearable.

However humidity does have its good sides. What they don't advertise about the desert is that that dryness opens up a radiation hole over the region. It's almost impossible to get a normal tan here. The radiation reaches the deep levels of the skin and you literally feel subcutaneous pain - something one only feels in other desert regions like Iraq, the Sahara, etcetera.

Indians were only "redskins" because of this subcutaneous dermal inflammation and damage, not some sort of genetic natural skin coloring. Phoenicians that stay outdoors look like they are all descended from Indians and the one's that stay indoors look pasty white.

So hope that cheers you up...

keep that AC going and the fans spinning!
