Fun Fridays – January 30, 2026
I have lived in Phoenix for 50 years. Winter has beautiful weather and brings visitors from the frozen north. But, as this weatherman discovered, sometimes it can get a little toasty in the desert. His reaction is priceless.

Through every season, every stage of life, books were the friends who never let me down. Needless to say, as a child and teen, I was never without a book in hand; and nothing’s …
