Mike,
Sorry to hear about your job. Had the same thing happen to me last August. Been so busy doing contract work out of the country that I am going to take the rest of the month and part of April off to enjoy life in Arizona for a change. Things happen for a reason and hope that this works out for the best for you and the family.
Mid June to first week in September is hell in Phoenix, just no other way to describe it. You just walk from the car to the house, house to the pool and so on.
From Sept to June we have heaven on earth, and BBQ on Christmas day in shorts and tee shirts. Ride motorcycles for 9 months, take the top down on the car and enjoy life.
Yes, its a dry heat but it is hot. The rest of the year is wonderful. If you can put up with 3 months of hell versus 5 months of being frozen then Arizona is for you. I love it and would live almost no where else in the world.
Joe A
