Summer's here
Summer's here // May 23, 2005
        The summer's blazing heat has made its way once again into our lives.   It is ruthless and relentless.   It does not give regard to women or small children; it burns without discretion.   Sure, everyone always says the "But its a dry-heat" bit, but there's not too much humidity inside an oven either.   For those who have yet to spend a summer here in lovely Tempe, AZ- many have asked "what exactly IS a summer like?"   Some have suggested drinking a bottle of Spontaneous CombustionŠ Hot Sauce, then proceeding immediately to set your clothing on fire.   Children should not attempt this unsupervised.   But nevertheless, we shall not be conquered by the inferno that is summer, and when the rest of Arizona is thinking about pool parties and watermelons and the Suns making it to the Western Conference Finals, we're diligently getting ready for WYD in Germany, and the '05 Institute is set to start at the beginning of August.   Eat some watermelons.
