Yes it gets hot here and dusty you have seen pictures
from Iraq and the dust storms there,well we have the
same thing here.
The heat can be a pain in a## true but days like
Christmas and today even make it worth while
Christmas the high was 77F and the low was 50F.
One of the real problems we have is travel,from
Chandler were Derek spoke of to the very northern
Part of our valley takes over an hour of highway time
at 75 mph I should say more like a hour and a half
The wage here is very low even for those who are
well trained.For the same job I did here (repairing
air conditioning units) I made 12.00 an hour, in
Michigan my cousin who does the same job makes
22.00 an hour.
Is this the goverments fault yes in a very big way,
they have made it so hard for industry to build here
that our economy is service based.. We also have
the very same con-artists to lead us as you guys
north of the border have
