1. so now is not a good time to get in your boats

and attack the Romans?

Phoenicians?

Is that really what Phoenix-dwellers call themselves?


(Good luck with the nasty weather.)

[MoonAndSun]

4. Yep, that's what we call ourselves out here in the Valley of the Sun!!

and there are some times when we do need our boats out here.:evilgrin:

8. back in the late 60s-early 70s

I spent several summers in Phoenix playing baseball.

It was hot! But I didn't remember the "Phoenicians" part. Makes sense.

I also don't remember any need for boats. Do you get monsoons?

2. We had a pretty good one last night

don't you think? I'm waiting for it.... This humidity is gross. It's not as bad as Chicago's, but then, the temps aren't as hot either.

What part of town are you in? I'm way East, in the armpit known as East Mesa.

[MoonAndSun]

3. Yeah, we had some rain last night, but not enough.

I live in Scottsdale, and right now I'm watching the dark skies east of me. I love to watch the monsoons roll into town.

5. I can hear thunder, but nada is happening here

Guess it's on the way. Rain would be great!

6. Scottsdale! I met the father of my children in Scottsdale many

Moons ago! It was kinda of a small town then and quaint!

[MoonAndSun]

7. Hi zidzi, how did the blackout affect you?

And Scottsdale is now not so quaint anymore, it has grown too big and the government officials have let the older parts of Scottsdale grow in neglect.

:hi:

9. Hi, MoonAndSun! Too bad about Scottsdale....but this was almost

40 years ago!

I was at my computer when it happened and all it affected us in upper State New York was our internet went out for 3 hours!

But as you probably saw on TV ...New York City really got it and Toronto, too!

And ol bush keeps on fundraising..

[MoonAndSun]

11. Glad you made it thru the blackout, zidzi!!

:dem:

10. ATTN. POMPEIAN DU'ers, VESUVIUS RUMBLING

He he. OK, so slap me. :-)

[MoonAndSun]

12. I don't believe in physical violence, MGKrebs, so I will toast you,

instead. :toast:
