Most of the time the summers are pretty hot (it's desert, remember). The Cascades shield us from most of the rain that comes in from the Pacific. Last July 4th it got up to 103 here so yes, it does get pretty toasty. Another benefit of living here is that when it does get too hot you can escape up in the mountains where it's cooler. Also we don't have the humidity either so that makes it nice.
Listen, I have been sitting at this computer all day so I think I am going to get outside for a little bit. I'll talk to you in a while, OK?
