Ice Break

This year it looks as though I missed the ice break on the Rillito. We took a short vacation up to one of those northern climes. You know the kind of place -- where the real ice had broken just a week or so prior. Really. In fact, right up near the Canadian border we happened to see a lake that was still covered in ice! And when we arrived back in Tucson, the radio announcer said it was a lovely 100° degrees in Tucson.

Here in Tucson, we don't have real ice on the rivers, or even water for most of the year, so we make up our own version of an ice break. The first day above 100°. This year it was on May 7th.

Keep cool.
