It's 8:50 pm and 104 degrees in Phoenix.

Today I almost got caught by some "jumping cactus/cacti", or cholla. These things will jump on you from up to 15 feet away, and they are more active this time of year.

97 today in Sacramento. I went out to Camp Far West Lake and skiied on glass until I was too tired to hang onto the tow rope (about three minutes- I'm old). Now it's 9 PM and it's 85 degrees. Bout another hour and I'll hit the swimming pool. I love summertime.:)

You guys are lucky :)

And you don't want to deal with jumping cactus, they will leap onto you and wreck your day.

Rode a horse thru osme jumping cactus once, she promptly returned the favor by trying to buck the cactus spines off her haunch, nicely depositing me into a saguaro.  We were both so happy with each other's company on the long walk back to the horse ranch.

Only been to Arizona once - Phoenix and Tucsan, but I loved every minute of it.  Fantastic weather (and so many HOT latin girls!!!)

Sure they do. But only if they get a running start? Man you hear it all on this bbs.
