The monsoon season has started in eastern Arizona, and the burned areas are now prone to flooding – due to a loss of ground cover. Some places received close to two inches of rain today, with lots more in the forecast.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

It doesn’t show it on the map, but it actually rained a bit in Tempe today – it was nice it watered my gardens for me! Steven as you know from living in Arizona, you can feel the monsoons coming on. It will be hot and dry. And then there is that day that is hot and just a bit humid and since we are talking about temperatures well above 100 F you really notice the slight increase in humidity – it almost feels like the air is pregnant and just ready to burst. A lot of times it doesn’t rain on those days; but sometimes it does and sometimes it rains the next day and sometimes it passes and gets dry again. And hot. Summer in the Sonoran Desert.
I consider myself lucky to live here and I consider it fortunate that there is civil engineering in the form of damns and water resource control as well as cheap available energy so we can have AC. I realize there are a lot of people that think this whole area should not exist – that it would be better if the entire desert southwest were returned to its natural utterly desolate condition free of the scourge of humanity.
But where would we all go?
I knew the monsoons were coming when the swamp coolers in the frat house quit working!
If you would like to feel some real humidity, visit Florida.
