Reinhard, glad to hear that you had a great time on vacation. Lots of people enjoying our vacation weather, but some of us locals are getting just a bit tired of it. Yesterday was a record 89. The furnace is on in the morning, the A/C is on by mid-afternoon. We were 18 degrees above normal yesterday. And yeah Tom, I'm still looking for the box that has my long johns in it. Temps are suppose to plummet down into the 70's and low 80's in a few days. 
Arizona State beat the University of Arizona on Saturday. On Sunday, the coach and his staff were fired. I guess a winning season and a trip to a bowl game isn't enough for some. Win big or go home..... I guess when you make more than a million dollars a year, they expect more of you than just a "mediocre" season. And here, all this time, I thought that going to college was all about learning, but then when they do a $350,000,000 (taxpayer funded) upgrade to the football stadium, I guess they have to justify that by winning more than just seven games.
