I was in Sedona a few days ago. Jeez, the neighborhoods there look like you're in Hollywood. It's so beautiful. Plus the massive mountains just standing over the town is absolutely magnificent. Same goes for Kingman. Also, 100 degrees isn't that terrible. That's just average weather for people that live here. It'd only be hot for foreigners like me. :(
Well, I've been through marching band and practiced in over 100 degree weather before, so it wouldn't be the first time I've been through that heat.
Also I have a half-black cousin who lives in Phoenix. :O
