In a Hurry

We are well into the last month where the average temperature can be 100 degrees or more. By this time of year most people are proud of surviving another summer in the valley of the sun. It can still be 100 or more and that is still bad but if you have lived in the desert awhile you can tell the difference between 100 and 110 and that difference feels good. 

I am a person in a hurry. We here in the Phoenix area know that we have lived through one of the hottest and driest summers ever. I want to hurry up and get past this time because I know that the cooler times are coming. By the time November comes around and lasting till about April, we remind ourselves that this lovely winter is why so many of us are here including the snowbirds. 

Not having anything else to post about today I chose the weather. I have written something every day since June 16th, nearly 3 months. That is the most consecutive days for a long time, and I feel good about this accomplishment.

I played with Bing's Image Creator today to create the image for today's post about weather in the desert. Have you ever played with this or another AI image creator? 

Back with more again soon. 
Take care and stay cozy!

Great Breakfast

I want to share with you what is a secret of ours. There is a Mexican restaurant in Apache Junction called Los Gringos Locos. During the winter when this town's population doubles with snowbirds they start serving breakfast on the weekends. We go here for breakfast most weekends through the winter usually on Sunday.

The food is fantastic and includes burritos with chorizo or machaca, plates of eggs with those meats or made to order omelettes. While others who don't know better are across the parking lot lined up to eat at a greasy spoon that shall remain nameless we have a wonderful breakfast in an uncrowded place for about the same price. The season will be ending soon and we will have to find a new place for our weekend mornings but you can be sure we will be back as soon as they start serving breakfast again next fall.

For lunch and dinner I have never had anything on the menu I didn't like. My favorite if you made me choose is probably the fish tacos. The fish is grilled and then chopped. It is put together with mild cheese, shredded cabbage and a mango salsa. Sooooo good!

Just felt like sharing this with you. If you are ever in the Apache Junction area and hungry you will never have a bad meal at this place.
