Today in the Arizona Republic:

 It's a Fry Heat

Temperatures in the Valley will likely reach 119 degrees today, 117 on Saturday and 116 on Sunday. All three would set records for those days.

Many businesses keep their thermostat cranked WAY down this time of year.  Yesterday, when Annette and I went to the nearby Subway during the lunch break, I actually had goosebumps from the cold.  I'm sure it will be the same at the movies this afternoon with Mary; I'll need to bring a sweater in with me!
