How long has it been since my parents acclimated me to a rare climate and made me a total wuss in the face of cold and/or humidity?
It's been 20 years (and one day) since the Beardsley family came to Arizona. We drove out here from Chicago in a '79 Impala when I was three and a half years old, and we arrived in Phoenix at the end of Independence Day when everyone was setting off their fireworks.
THAT'S RIGHT, I'M WHAT MAKES INDEPENDENCE DAY COOL. I ALSO MAKE CHRISTMAS COOL.
AND HALLOWEEN AND FLAG DAY WHY NOT.

Yes.
That works nicely.
In any event, cold and/or humidity SUCKS, so you're not missing much. And hey, according to my research, PHX is booming right now...your folks beat the rush! =)
