this........

unfortunately, its a 12 hour drive from Albuquerque to Lincoln for the spring game

I've been in Phoenix for 5 years now. For the 3 or 4 months of unbelievable hot (where you go for AC car to AC office) is worth it for the 8 to 9 months of unbelievably great weather.
And while I know it is a cliche to say it is a dry heat, but walking out to 110 here is better than 90 with 90% humidity in the midwest where it takes your breath away.
I was back in the Ohio/Indian area at Christmas, the cold and the snow is much worst than the heat here

Thought I quoted the post that said that Phoenix is unbearable.

My opinion on "60 Minutes" is about as low as it can be.  They often, if not always, contrive stories and exaggerate to find a story without balance.  It's not that hard to take some "issue" and report ONLY the salacious stuff about whatever to make it appear to be a real story.

The job they did on Audi's and "unintended acceleration" was so badly done that they clearly went after the story without any merit as in one shot they showed an apparent unintended acceleration and the brake lights were not lit.

Their "analysis" was blown apart by many outside experts who had no association with Audi.  They did something similar to the Bradley Fighting Vehicle back in the day, and I quit watching them.

Allegiant may well be awful, I don't know, but I do not trust 60 Minutes for one minute.

They do entertainment, not "news", or even current events, and few folks realize how slanted their shows are.  They do some hatchet job on some company (usually) and then the company refuses to comment for the story for fear of how the interview would be edited, and that is offered as support for their claims.

It's a classic example in my mind of starting with a conclusion and fitting everything to make that conclusion seem both sound and eyeball catching.  Imagine they actually did a story in a balanced fashion.  Most of the time the result would be confusing and less than clear whereas a one sided "expose'" is going to be gratifyingly clear cut to the audience.

I've listened to numerous NPR stories in some depth and they do a far far far better job of balancing matters and showing both sides IMHO because their intent is not to be salacious and get eyeballs.

I'm sure they do some reasonable shows on more obvious things, but they can't start an investigation into a story and come out with nothing, they have to have a story, so they concoct one if none is really present.

I won't touch anything 60 minutes anymore. Haven't for at least 10 years.

Yeah, I think you were attempting to quote my post saying Phoenix is unbearable.

I've been in Phoenix and Vegas in the summer. It's not just me as a native Midwesterner talking about how I *think* it would feel. I've done it. It's brutal. I feel like I'm in a furnace when I walk out the door. When it's windy, that's just a convection oven. It's not a breeze coming at you, it's a blowtorch. 

Now I agree that it's more pleasant than 90 degrees with 90% RH in the Midwest. Especially since that Midwestern world is full of moisture and therefore mosquitoes. And that in the Midwest, due to the specific heat of water carrying that heat, you get *no* real advantage to the shade. It's just as hot and muggy in the shade. 

But "it's a dry heat" only goes so far. When you start hitting 110+ degrees, it don't matter what kind of heat it is. It just sucks.

This is bullshit.
