I'm glad! Their website is a wonder. You can get an education. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is like Disneyland for me; I always hit it first day when I am back in Tucson for a visit. Love it. Have many albums of photos from visits over the decades, which I run on my laptop as wallpaper and screen saver. The gift that keeps on giving...

Eventually, it will bleed into this or that new category, as scientists see it. I believe 99% of people would look out the window in Tucson and say, "Desert." That's what I'll say.

You can change climate in Tucson with a short drive up Mt. Lemon! Living in Phoenix, I'm jealous. We have to go farther to cool down.
Jealous of Phoenix? Bisbee at 5250 feet in altitude isn't enough of a cool down for you? Sheesh, during a hot summer, even Nogales seems attractive to me at 3885 feet in altitude!

Just remember where I spent 22 years in the driest big city in the country, Las Vegas, and my first summer here I feel like, at times, I've come to the Tropics! Not one mosquito bite in 22 years, and now I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy some bug spray for next summer!
