Lighter side: Phoenix

A companion to the "What's to Eat at the Conference" post,

Here's a hint to the weather forecast in Phoenix (short version: currently hot and over 100 degrees, but as the locals joke, it's a "dry heat"), which might help out with packing, (although in the air-conditioned setting of the Convention Center, spending a fair amount of sitting, a sweater is not always amiss).

The weather link also has a listing of travel advisories, so that might be helpful information.

Below are couple of videos of the downtown area and light rail system if you want to get a little acclimated. These are amateur videos, but better than some of the more "Chamber of Commerce"y video snippets available.

Personally, I plan to try that light rail if I have a chance...

All aboard.
