Dear Mesa, Arizona

Dear Mesa, Arizona:

The place where its too hot to put back your trash cans after they're empty until late, late afternoon. That is unless you feel like getting your hands burnt off.

Where you cant go outside barefoot even across the sidewalk with out the 'oh oh ah ah' sound effects as you try and pick up your feet as quickly as possible to ease the burning

Starting your car with ac up all the way a good 3-5 minutes prior to driving it is a must if you want to be presentable where ever you are going, unless of course you like showing up places sweaty and with a blistery hand from trying to buckle your metal seatbelt..

Where people use umbrellas to block the sun, not the rain

Where if you want any chance of selling a car, the first and biggest thing you post about your cars details is **HAS ICE COLD AC**

vacant parks are seen all around during the day because no child wants to risk loosing their backside down the slide to third degree burns.

Where usual morning jogs happen at either 5:00 in the morning, inside on a treadmill, or not at all, of course if you want to risk heat stroke you may still do your daily run..

Where leaving your child in the car is illegal for sake of them dying of heat..

The place where in a parking lot it doesn't matter how close you are to the entrance; but how much shade you can manage to get covering your car, no matter how far away.

and most importantly where there is NO SNOW!

For that last reason alone it makes it all worth it.. oh how I love our winters, even though our summers are not the most.. well known for nice weather,

my Mesa summer heat ill take you any day over having to ever live in the snow! ..I really hope I never have to live in the snow, I really hate it.

I know this post is totally random and unneeded, but I'm just reminding myself of how grateful I am that it is really really hot, and not snowing :D :D :D :D :D :D
