Nancy,

In regards to your question, "Are you certain that the watermelons are the
only dehydrated items in Arizona?", I can tell that you are a very
perceptive person. So I will share with you that the Weather Authorities
are trying to quash a rumor that the dry, hot heat is effecting the brains
of the Arizona populace. But I assure you from personal experience that it
is not true. Scientific evidence has shown that baked is preferred to
boiled. And unless it really gets hot out here, some of us are only
half-baked.

Warmly yours,

Max
