I hope to make it down there this year!

Thanks for th ediscusssion link. EC is certainly leaves more room for optimism, raher than predicting LaNina. Hope it ends up being at least average considering the lacking winter.

We had a general dust storm blow through Phoenix last night - from storms down by Tucson. / Casa Grande area.

Don't forget, "monsoon" is a harbinger of wind, not necessarily rain.
