If you’re my friend on facebook, or follow me on twitter, you may have noticed me complaining about the heat recently. While it’s true that I do heart complaining about things, you will rarely catch me complaining about it being too hot.
I lived in Tucson for 4 years and loved the weather. I’m [...]
