Peenix

Jesus, it hit 118 degrees in Phoenix!

I may be just an armchair theologian, but I am thinking their tenure during summer months counts toward Purgatory.

Add to that the fact that most of the place is a dump, and perhaps you've even got an indulgence.

But only for Phoenix Catholics.  And not all will be deserving of it [1].

That's hot.

Not crazy about you using God's name to drive home a point though. =(

We spent 2 years in Phoenix. It was the longest 20 years of my life. I remember the day it hit 120. The breeze about peeled the skin off my face like a sandblaster. Horrible place!

Kathy,

I use the vernacular of my Bronx upbringing. It is my true voice. It may be offensive to some people, but you will always know where I stand.

I do not consider the use of the occasional epithet to be violative of the 2nd Amendment. When God - or devotion thereof - is used to justify evil or morally repugnant human behavior, then it is such a violation.

As to what behavior falls in that category, why, isn't that with which we struggle daily to discern?

I LOVE it here, I just can't spell it.
