It's very hot today. It got up to 110F here today. My tv room is 85F. I have a spray bottle of water and I give both Misty and I a refreshing spritz every so often. How do you Arizonans live with this?

Good thing I like lemonade, life has been handing me lots of lemons.
When life gives me lemons, I freeze them hard as rocks and them throw them at the people that are pissing me off! ;) Screw making lemonade!
Sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time lately. Hopefully things will work out in your favor soon.

And poor Ava! All her life she's had the run of her acres just to run like a free loving dog. Now? Well I guess there's a dog park close.

Most Arizonas don't have swamp coolers anymore. I had a house will a swamp cooler and it was rough. Especially when monsoon season brought the humidity level up. Swamp coolers don't work for squat when it's humid out.

You be set pretty good if you got yourself a little window AC unit for the living room.

I hated my swamp cooler.... I threatened one time to burn the whole house down over that stupid cooler, lol. Just make sure your son in law does the maintenance on it so it's working as best it can.

It costs too much to run the AC. I have a roof mounted unit that's about 20 years old, but only has about two hour of run time on it.
