A few hours ago, the NPI team landed in Phoenix for Netroots Nation 2015. While we were fortunate enough to be able to ride in an air-conditioned light rail vehicle from Sky Harbor International Airport to our hotel, we still spent enough time outside to really appreciate how hot it is here.
Presently, it’s about one hundred and three degrees Fahrenheit, and with the asphalt and concrete helping to trap the heat, it feels hotter. Blast-furnace hot. The recent extra warm days we had up in the Northwest pale in comparison to the heat we feel here. But we’ll cope. The convention happens mostly inside, and when we do go out, we’ll be packing sun protection.
