Starting to warm up

It's finally starting to warm up here in the Old Pueblo. Days are in the low 100s and nights in the 60s, and the air conditioner hums throughout the day. It's days like this that help make Tucson one of my favorite places to live. Really.

Why? Well, in the summer a lot of the snowbirds leave town, so there is a lot less traffic on the city streets. between the snowbirds leaving and the students from the UofA departing, the effect is quite noticeable.

The other thing that is nice is that there are a lot of things that start up in the summer for the locals. ASDM starts up the summer Saturday evenings (and we headed off to the first of the season). The summer movies at Cinema La Placita start up. It is a great evening when you can sit under the starts and watch a classic (or not so classic) movie. The Fox theatre starts its summer movie classic series. This summer it'll be old horror films: Frankenstein, Dracula, you know the lot. See, a lot does go on during the summer. You just have to know where to find it.
