Updated from the archives Whenever anyone hears we’ve moved to Hot-as-Blazes USA, their first reaction is to tell us we’re crazy-go-nuts. Secondly they swoon over how awful the heat must be. Last week, someone from church shrugged weather complaints off and said, “If it’s under 105, it’s warm. Anything over 105 is hot.” The truth [...]
