Tucson is for Lizards and Cacti


We have nice rooms at the Sheraton and try to stay in them all day. The dry 100 degree heat here makes you long for a nice humid 100 degree day in DC. Once you step out into the Arizona sun the desert wind blows into every pour and sucks all the moisture out of you. Dessicant comes to mind. I had to put on full riding gear and go to Casa Grande, 70 miles away. It was like driving a spaceship into the sun. When I got where I was going I was completely whipped. By the time I got back to Tucson I was seriously dehydrated. I spent yesterday in bed drinking water by the liter.
