Finishing up a wonderful visit to New England weather-wise. Nice to be here while back in Arizona they’re having the hottest week of the year to date. So what do folks in the Valley of the Sun do for entertainment when the temps soar above 100? Why, they watch to see how long it takes two 300-lb. blocks of ice to melt. Yes, really:
With a forecast high of 114 degrees in Phoenix, it’s going to be the hottest day of the year so far.
The National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Watch for Wednesday and Thursday.
How long will it take 600 pounds of ice — two 300-pound blocks — to melt in this extreme heat? The stacked blocks were 20 inches tall when we started. By 6:45 a.m. they had gone down nearly a quarter inch.
Think I’d rather go up to the beach and get some seafood, which I will be doing.
Queue it up, Sly and the Family Stone.
Have a lobster or oysters for me…or clams, or mussels.

Had fried clams, fried scallops and lobster bisque. Outstanding!
