Fall only exists in the ABSTRACT

*In the Sonoran Desert, Fall only exists in the abstract, a thing one can drive to Prescott or Flagstaff for. Or maybe you can share vicariously with friends or family members' Facebook updates. But in real life, on October 1, the daily high temperature in the Phoenix area averages 92 degrees. For some, the lack of Fall is a disappointment. For others it's more like grief.

#TERMITES love the Fall in Valley of the Sun. The Warm temperatures after summer Monsoon rains is the perfect setting for termites to attack your home. #UNIVERSAL PEST CONTROL 623 979-1983. #TERMIDOR treatments, 5 year warranty, free annual inspections, starting at $599.

Labor Day..Welcome FALL

Every year we look forward to Labor Day. If you live in Arizona you still have another month of 100 degree plus weather. Its Football Season which is reason for celebration. Fall brings long walks and hikes on the weekends. Picnics and outdoor family cookouts and gatherings in near perfect weather. Generally a time of renewal and enjoyment after the long hot summer.

TERMITES also enjoy the fall weather, this is one of their most active seasons. Great prices, Great service,

Hot Cars & Children CAUTION (dogs too)

Driving requires that we pay attention at all times. Most accidents are caused by inattentive, distracted drivers. The tragedy of leaving a child in a hot car happens all to often. Here is an informative link to a great article that The Ciulla Law firm posted. http://www.phoenixazinjurylaw.com/hot-cars-and-children---phoenix-arizona

Tolerance & Acceptance of Others

If we all could learn a little more tolerance of others it would make us all happier. WORLD CUP mania is on every possible media outlet, can't get away from it. I'm a huge NFL fan, could care less about Soccer or "football" as the rest of the world calls it.  I recognize that many people I know enjoy World Cup, I just have to accept that and not rain on their parade. My favorite cousin is on the opposite political side than I. She often post's her views on on Facebook. Well..She is my favorite cousin so I smile, take a deep breath and accept her political rants.

"Slide Fire" Close Call for many

Our family has had a small home in Kachina Village just south of Flagstaff, Az. for years. The recent "Slide Fire", a huge Forrest Fire between Sedona, Az and Flagstaff came too close for comfort. This monster Fire has burned for almost 2 weeks and has burned over 21,000 acres and is only 53% contained.

Many people were forced to evacuate their homes, 1000's of others were on stand-by evacuation (be packed and ready to leave in 15 minutes). Our neighbor behind us, his family and 5 little dogs evacuated. The Forrest Firefighters did and amazing job! Not one house was lost and no loss of life.

While we were safe back in Peoria, Az., we certainly had concern about losing this special place. Long week ends, holidays, pancake breakfasts, hikes, grilling, somemores over the fire pit in the back yard. Great times, many memories for us and our children and grandchildren. Luckily the Firefighters saved the day. Thank You Brave Firefighters.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Phoenix Police proposed pay cut- software becoming obsolete-Summer Stuff & More!

First of all, we think it's completely unfair to give the Phoenix Police Officers a pay cut. They are already understaffed which makes their job even more dangerous. Next time a city council members needs a cop, they should try calling a fellow politician.

We found out our perfectly good WindowsXP operating system is now outdated and is no longer supported. Our Quick Books 2011 version will become outdated as of May 31, 2014. We are forced to purchase a new version. Our customer database program won't run with new Windows version, so we need to purchase an update even though the current version is working just fine, thank you. We also need to buy several new computers to handle the new programs. And so it goes!

BEES.. are having serious problems. Their numbers are decreasing worldwide. So the EPA has established new guidelines to help protect the remaining bees. Your Pest Control Operator will have to be careful not to spray any flowering plants or flowers.

Finally..SUMMER brings vacations, day trips, schools out, festivals, day trips to the cool country, and more. It also brings scorpions, black widow spiders, large sewer roaches (American), ants, crickets, earwigs, and more. Call UNIVERSAL PEST CONTROL 623-979-1983.
