Sunny Sunday. Day 17

Daylight savings begins today, but not in Tucson! Tucson does not observe it, therefore, Tucsonans do not change their clock settings during the year. Sometimes they are on Pacific time like California, other times they are on Mountain time. I haven't been anywhere before where they did not change their clocks twice a year!

Tomorrow is my last day here. I am getting kind of tired, so it will be nice to go home to my own bed.

I saw something on the news tonight that was very interesting. It was called 'Icebreak on the Santa Cruz' contest. Huh? Do they get ice here, I asked?

Cheryl started laughing. She told me it is the first day of the year that the temperature reaches 100 degrees. The station, KVOA, has a contest that you can enter to predict when it will be. She said it is almost always in the month of May, and that in the past few years it has been in the early to mid part of May around noon.

They used to give out trips to Alaska but this year they are giving out a KIA car. I couldn't enter it because I am not old enough. Oh, well. I did get to drive Cheryl's car!
