Lemme see…it’s April and I’m looking at the calendar wondering when that first stretch of 90-degree days hits. Oh, here it is! Time to head up to the attic and double-check that A/C unit, as it will be on “Red Alert!” from now through the second week of October.

But that’s what happens when you live in a place The Travel Channel called #4 in its “most extreme weather” destinations (sorry, no link – it was just a program we watched last Saturday).
