Hi Gary
I will be all over Arizona. From Tucson to the Grand
Canyon. After the DCC I will be doing the National Parks thing.
Thanks Alan for the extended forecast if that is correct then even
90's will not be much different than Long Island in the summer time.
I was of course worried of the 110 and higher tempertures.

Sometimes an LCD display will darken, but it recovers, If it doesn't
look like rain, leave a window cracked open. Makes it nicer for
humans, too, when you return to the car. Get a sun reflector to put
in the windshield when parked in the sun. I am not sure it keeps the
interior that much cooler, but it prevents a hot steering wheel and
shades LCD panels.

Let us hope we never witness the "Silence Of The Hams"
