Tempest 2

It is almost 50 °C! Unbelievable!
How about the humidity? Japan's summer is very humid, which causes us to feel dull. I suppose that Arizona is very dry. How is your beautiful family? Please take care anyway.
What’s AZ like. Like baking cookies and deciding to crawl into the oven to check on them.

The family is fine thank you. Send my love to yours, Katsu-San.
 
120 degrees in Arizona today.

It can get 110, maybe even a little hotter here....which is just not fun at all, but normally doesn't last more than a week, maybe two at most and drops back down.....to like 100.
Definitely glad I got my car AC fixed.

Good to know your A/C is back on.
Yep, last year we hit 45 straight days of over 120 degrees.

Make sure that you stay indoors between 11 AM and November 1st.

But, I’ve derailed yet another thread. Sorry Katsu-San, back to the Tempest.

Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Idaho, Utah... I see the nature of them is beautiful and vast and has many splendid things, but harsh at times; yet, it somehow attracts me. Also, I think the people living there.
 
Sure is hard to get things done in this heat, but at least you got something, and it is looking better and better each time

As far as weather,

We are currently at 95° F or about 35° C and over 60% humidity

And it is 8:00 at night!

was in the hundreds earlier today

Also love the Arizona and Utah area.

Mainly Arizona due to the diversity
Northern Arizona in areas like Flagstaff and Oak Creek Canyon you might think you were in a forest state
It is also weird seeing snow-capped mountains in June up in Flagstaff

travel like 20-30 minutes south and your in the desert

I remember driving in late January a few years ago from the airport in Phoenix where it was 60°F/15°C and about 2.5 hours north to Flagstaff where it was below freezing and a foot of snow on the ground

Driving tour around many beautiful places is what I miss. Especially, I remember almost 20 years ago.
We had a good car, a Chevy Astro.
Each vacation, we fully loaded the camping equipment and drove down to the beautiful northern coast. At night, we play cards in a tent. Nothing significant, but we were so happy. I guess you are busy every day. I know the flower shop is backbreaking work, but please take good care of yourself and your family.
My wife and I are planning to move back to Las Vegas. Same basic climate. Not as hot, as long. We have a grandson now who’s there and want to be part of his life.

OMG, what a handsome baby! Did they name him?
You are so lucky to have such a sweet grandson.
Ah, is there any day I could hold my grandkid sometime, too?

So you move to Las Vegas. Are you going to take a long off from your work?
There must be many happy things.

I am not sure that any medical personnel would be willing to visit a place like this, but if you do, report me.

Last Sunday, my daughter #2, Miki (Zombie Sculptor), came home with her boyfriend. We got some drinks together, A few moments passed, and then he nervously declared that they had decided to marry her. Oh my god, my wife and I considered the terms of approval very carefully.

Here's the condition.

1. He has to prepare one goat and two large bags of rice as the betrothal gifts.

2. Not only marry Miki, but also take care of my daughter #1, Yuki.

He said he will try the terms No.1, but can't afford terms No.2 due to economic issues.

My wife and I reluctantly agreed with him.
Then he also decreed with more nervousness that they are supposed to have a baby born next January.

Wow, my wife and I were struck, and then I carefully asked him, 'Who is the father?' Miki said, 'As long as I remember, you are looking at him'

My wife and I were relieved, and then we toasted again.

So, I could sleep peacefully.

May the force be with them.

One down, one more to go.

Hope everything works out.
Sounds like we can say congrats....and maybe even.......Grandpa....or maybe not quite ready for that yet.

Beautiful ship. It looks like a cross between the millennium falcon and the Battlestar Galactica.

Congratulations on the marriage and your upcoming grandchild. Funny how we were just talking about that!

In America, it’s a little different. Your daughter tells you she wants to marry the man, you ask him if he has a job, he says no. You ask him how he will support her, he says they will move into his parents house.

You tell her that she does not have your blessing, and then she screams at you that she loves him and they run out of the house together.
