Dan and I are currently in Scottsdale, Arizona (on the edge of Phoenix). It's seriously hot every single day here - I think it's currently sitting around 90 degrees Fahrenheit and it's nearly 6 pm. I recently heard that they only get 7 inches of rain here annually, which isn't much compared to London where there is often as much as 30 inches.

To keep cool, I've been spending quite a bit of time in the swimming pool (I know, it's a hard life). To try to make this lazy time useful, I've started to take pictures of some of the creatures I pull out of there. Sometimes there isn't much of interest, so I'm not planning to update this regularly - only when I find something strange or gross.
