Heat, cold, it all means you spend more time indoors (fighting cabin fever)
or elsewhere, like Dean does. Arizona's economy (what little is left right
now) relies on "Snowbirds" coming down for the winter.

My folks in Montana love to come down in winter for a couple weeks to thaw
out. They've been here a couple days. I like to go up there during haying or
harvest season and help out and cool off. Their "hot" weather doesn't bother
me that much anymore, for some reason. :)

This weather certainly isn't for everyone. And if you don't have A/C it can
be downright life-threatening.

Rule of summer driving in AZ: the person with the windows down and the red,
sweaty face has the right of way. :)
