She desperately wants to go with me, but even to drive across town I'd have to turn on the air conditioner and that works only if I go somewhere she can come in with me.

Damn... it is Colorado and only mid March. And, I'm already shuffling furniture to try to bring in more fans, a portable "swamp cooler"--all in hopes of delaying that $$$ air conditioner as long as possible. I can deal with being hot myself, but not seeing my aging old furry girl suffer. No global warming--indeed. ...sigh...

Is 38 degrees one night next weekend. Highs will be between 57 and 79. We've had one of the warmest winters here on record. I only had to drive in the snow 3 times this winter and I don't think any of those snow falls were greater than 4 inches.

It's been raining here all morning, which I know we need. But this wind? Enough already. I'm sure I'll be looking at snow on the Huachucas in the morning. I was out to breakfast at the Lone Star in Nicksville yesterday and saw that they are starting to rebuild Ricardo's restaurant, burned in the Monument fire. Hurry up, I still have a fifty dollar gift certificate from before the fire.
The mountains are scarred badly, but driving up the (now aptly named) Ash Canyon, I noted that all of the burnt oaks have new growth at their base. In a hundred years or so, barring another horrible fire, the Huachucas will be beautiful again.

The visibility is down to about a block or so. Some highway closures are starting up.

Overcast but dry all day yesterday and then rain, sleet, snow flurries, and back to rain today. Last week was t shirt weather.

I wouldn't mind except it only precipitates hard enough to turn the dust to mud on my Jeep, but not hard enough to wash it off.
