The heat is coming...the heat is coming!
"Well, ya', it's mid June in Phoenix, Arizona. What's the panic?"
"It's gonna be 119 on Father's Day! Have you ever tried to stand near a gas gill when it's 119 degrees outside?"
"No, but I think I will find out how it feels! ...and besides, it's a dry heat!"
"Dry Heat, my ass; It is gonna be a scorcher!"
Just so y'all know, even some of the residence of Arizona complain about the heat this time of year. If I can be out of the direct sun with a light breeze and/or a water mist, than I can stand temperatures as high as the upper 100's. But, every year there are only 18 days on average that are over 110 degrees, and these are the days everyone hates! So far this year, we have already experienced 4 days with 9 more to come this week, over over 110 degrees. So, the way I see it, we only have to endure 5 more excessive heat days...on average of course! (The record is 32 days a couple of years ago and June is always the hottest month in Arizona.)
119 degrees on Father's Day will not deter me from my duty of grilling ribs outdoors. I will enjoy it! Stay hydrated, my friend, with some cold adult beverage and slip in and out of the air conditioned house to flip the ribs! ...Just say'n!
Happy Father's Day!
