Now, ask me how I feel this SUMMER, I'll probably be bit*hing about how HOT and DRY it is........I know, just like a TYPICAL MALE
We've had 27 STRAIGHT days of snow, rain, snow, rain in Pinetop.....I've NOT seen the sun but 3 HOURS in those 27 days, myself with, I'd say 75% of Pinetop, were getting depressed due to the lack of sunlight, seriously!
