Liquid is falling from the sky in Arizona


When you are living in the desert you have sunny days all the time. During the summer there is no reason to even check the weather report unless you want to see if we are hitting a new record temperature. The greatest thing about the summer months though is Arizona gets some great monsoons. It does not last very long but when it happens it brings a smile to my face. Massive lightning that lights up the sky. Thunder shaking my apartment and rain coming down hard.

At the top of Camelback Mountain

Back in the middle of March I decided to take a little stroll up a mountain here in the Phoenix area. Unfortunately I did not realize it was going to take over an hour to reach the summit which is 2704 feet up. It was a great view once reaching the top though. So here I am at the top of Camelback Mountain.

Epic Win at the Tempe DMV

Having a good experience at the DMV is not a normal thing. My first 2 experiences at a DMV came in Connecticut which did not go so well. Long lines and unhelpful employees plague many DMV’s across the country. Thankfully this was not the case at the Tempe DMV where I got my license quickly.

Day 1 – CT to PA, Road to AZ

Day 1 map of CT to PA


Day 1 got off to a late start but I still managed to go about 450 miles and reach Pittsburgh, PA. I had planned on leaving very early on day 1 but I overslept and also I had trouble fitting everything into the car. What I really wanted to do was have all the electronics kept in the trunk where you wouldn’t be able to see them. This was a big challenge but I managed to fit everything in finally. The 1st day took me into CT, NY, NJ and also PA. PA was a very long and boring drive.
