arizona is on fire
That's my prediction for this summer.
Phoenix has not seen measurable rain for 100 days. That's October since it's rained. The static electricity is ridiculous, and a small spark will pretty much burn the whole state. Tomorrow we will tie the record for the recorded drought, at 101 days.
I wonder if we'll catch up in February like we got ahead last year. Only time will tell.
i'm famous
Something funny happened today. I was going through my mail and I got three different requests for my autograph. Who the heck would want my autograph you might ask? Well, baseball fans!
You see, a guy with the -exact- same name as mine who went to Arizona State and lives a few miles away in Chandler was a major league baseball player. He used to play here in Phoenix for the old minor league Phoenix Firebirds, and went on to play for the Giants, Phillies, Red Sox, and the Pirates. Apparently someone somewhere decided they had tracked him down and started sending me baseball cards to sign. He was a mediocre player but managed to last for 13 years and make just over $4million.
Kind of funny.
