If you live in the northeast or upper mid-west, where things are buried in snow, you may think this is insane. But Phoenix area residents are starting to turn on air conditioners.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With temperatures in the 80s, Valley residents have been turning on their air conditioners early.

This is only the beginning, and we all know the inevitable is coming. Being prepared for the heat is the key to comfort and less hassle when the temperatures reach their threshold.

The linked article goes onto discuss maintenance tasks for a/c.

Here at 5500 feet above sea level in the Prescott, Az mountains we are not using a/c. We are still running our furnace at night. It has been abnormally warm in the daytime hours here, but no a/c is needed.

graffiti_on_church_20140714_100Graffiti vandals “tagged” the LDS (Mormon) church on Scott Drive in Prescott, Az sometime in the last few days. If it were up to me, which it is not, if caught they should be made to clean it off and then have their hands broken. An example of the ongoing decivilization process in our society.

Circus Comes to Prescott, originally uploaded by dagnyg.

On April 11 & 12, 2011 there was a circus in Prescott. Here’s the tent after they finished putting it up with Thumb Butte in the background. It was amazing how quickly they set up and tear down. They had some elephants and camels that were outside at times but I did not get a photo.
I did not attend a performance, but a coworker with young children did and said it was quite good.
