The end of June to the beginning of July 4th. We hit both animal
parks (zoos) and got to see some of the desert wildlife
up-close-and-very-personally (a king snake rasped away under my
bench at a park in Scottsdale as I leaned back against the bench
jabbering to a frozen-in-place matron. She did everything but
scream like a siren as it disappeared under a bush behind me. It
didn't like me lifting the bush so I let it be.

That's how I feel when the mercury hits anything above 79°F! There
are times I think I'm made of wax.
