105? Pah! It's going to be 115 today! Thankfully, the better half had to be out of the house by 7, so I was up and going long before it reached that.

It's the the light-rail stop art installation at S Dorsey Ln and Apache Blvd in Tempe. If nobody picks it up shortly I guess I'll post a replacement that will get things going again. |
