It is eight in the morning and the windows are open. I love the mornings here. As far as I can tell, the skies are always blue and, except for "Los tres meses del Diablo"(the three months of the Devil as I like to call it), You can open up and cool off in the evenings and mornings. In the winter, you can open up all day long. And yes we do have a furnace and we do use it in the winter! I think we used it once last year to cook hot dogs when the BBQ broke. Just kidding. Like many west coast states, we're having and Indian Summer. Except that in Phoenix the Indians are really on the war path. They say this may be the hottest Oct. on record. We are 16+ degrees above normal most days. I think poor Lorna is giving up on ever wearing a sweater and long pants again. In the clothes stores, they are switching over to fall styles. In Phoenix that means that the bikinis and tank tops are available in darker colors!

Last week I was called into work twice at 4:30 AM for a total of six days of flying. I flew 33 hours in eight days. The legal limit is 30 in seven. This week they must feel sorry for me (yea right) I am on my third day of reserve and they sill haven't called. Oh crap...I bet I just jinxed it. My phone will probably ring any minute. Wait...what was that? Ah, never mind.

I love wireless networking. Right now I am laying in bed propped up on pillows with the laptop on, where else?, my lap. And lorna is snoozing beside me. Technology is great.

P.S. I think Daylight Savings is coming this weekend. Remember, we here in the state of Arizona do not shift our clocks so, in essence, we will be moving from Pacific Time to Mountain Time. So in exchange for you west coasters not calling me at 11:00 pm on a work night, I will not call you at 7:00 am on a weekend morning. Thank you for your co-operation.
