Summer in Tucson
June 21, 2007 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Odds and Ends
Welcome to the first day of Summer in Tucson! That reads 113 degrees for the outside temperature, by the way. It said 116 when I first started the car this afternoon. It was actually 108 degrees today, but the temperature gage gets overheated when the car is closed up and sitting in the sun. But really, once you get over 100 degrees, you just call it hot.

- ROI of Green Remodeling Projects (December 28, 2008)
Hattip to Tucson architect Jake Boen of the In Place Architecture Blog.
Found a post in my reader this morning from local architect Jake about the return on investment of various green remodeling projects and upgrades, quoting GreenAndSave.com where they’ve got a master table of anticipated ROI.
It’s an interesting table. They’re quoting the highest ROI to [...] - La-La-La-Lasik (April 24, 2008)
Forgive me if I am difficult to reach in the next day or two. I’m having Lasik performed on Thursday, and am told I’ll be up and running again quickly, but I just want to warn you now that it might take a day to get to the pile of email I expect to accumulate. [...]
- Can We Get A Little A/C Action In Here? (June 16, 2008)
Summer has spung (or does Summer sum?).
The weather man says it’s going to be 107 this week.
And I don’t mind the temperature, really. You live in the desert long enough, you learn how to deal with it, how to keep cool.
However, it is time to issue my annual summer complaint about people trying to [...]

LOL you’re a liar. No sane person would live by choice anywhere that gets that hot.

No, no, Athol. I don’t lie on my blog. And Phoenix is hotter. Certainly millions of people can’t be wrong!
But seriously, 108 degrees is nothing. I grew up in Yuma, where we had record highs in the 120s. Your car gets to about 170, 180 degrees inside if you leave it out in a parking lot for an hour or two. Unless you’ve got a burn scar somewhere on your arm from the seat belt buckle, you ain’t seen hot. Nice thing about Tucson is that we’ll be down in the low 70’s tonight: beautiful!
and I was complaining about almost 100 degrees in Denver…
My little home weather station says it is going to be 111 later this week. But really, once you get over the century mark, there’s not a whole lot of difference.
