Monsoon season is in full swing here in Arizona. Afternoon downpours have been rolling in like clockwork. We have had a couple of gully washers that dropped 2 or 3 inches of rain each on us. The area sure is getting green. For us here, it’s been very, very humid. It actually reached 45% the […]

It was only for 30 seconds to a minute, but it was very aggravating. I have been working with my provider, Sunncast, […]
