Okay, I'll come clean - I saw that last Wednesday was going to be 116 degress in Phoenix and I bailed to Flagstaff on Monday. I've been hiding here ever since, and I am so glad I did. Wow, has it been hot in the Valley. Well, even here in Flagstaff it's been a bit hot but nothing like that. Today in fact, it rained and as I sit here right now it's about 66 degrees - now that's cool!!


This is the first time I've made it to the 4th of July Parade here. This is Americana at its best!



That's the Mayor of Flagstaff - Joe Donaldson, above, way to get in the spirit Mayor Joe!!
