This morning was the first day I hiked in a short-sleeve shirt and shorts even though a breeze made it feel rather cool at first. That changed quickly with physical exertion, and less than a quarter-mile into the hike it felt perfectly fine. We are headed for 87 F today (30.5 C) before another cold front sweeps in, lowering the temperatures into the mid-70s. Pretty soon I'll have to switch over from the furnace to the evaporative cooler--not a fun proposition, which requires climbing onto the roof.

I love to see the desert coming to life when it starts to get hotter.
87 in April--why I don't live in Las Cruces...
If the temperature outside never got above 65 degrees for the rest of my life, I'd be happy.
I don't get the "moonwalk" reference, Packrat. Sorry.
Becca and I moonwalked the entire hike, Scott, like Michael Jackson might have done.
