“Phoenix in June????” That was the response of a friend when I told him I was off to Phoenix for a conference. “Man, no one goes to Phoenix in June!” Well, now I know why. At 110 degrees its so hot that even crossing the street from one air-conditioned buiding to the next feels like an eternity. But people adapt. Hotel entrances, outdoor terraces, etc. use a cool-mist system to create a “curtain” of water that apparently maintains about a 10-degree differential across the “wall”. IMHO its still too hot to sit there, but as Montralers know, people will go to great lengths to sit and eat/drink outdoors. Hopefully some photos with the new Canon G9 camera later today.
