Love that thing about Alice Springs. Exactly how I felt about living in Tempe... yea, endless summer was not my thing. I always thought we should have had our summer vacation in the winter, so the kids could go outside.

Every time I go out to my car after school and the wind is blowing and it's 5 degrees F. out, I stop and think about what it felt like when it was 112 F and i had to open the door of my car.

Tucson is more temperate. Evenings actually get below 100 in the summer and winter nights are well, like winter!
