Dear small potatoe (is that spelled right?) I guess if I lived in Phoenix, I'd strip to my bvd's to tune a piano that is too hot to touch. I absitively, posilutely hate hot weather. I was in the corporate world for many years. I was expected to wear suits and tie every day and hated it profusely. I'll never go back to that. If you want to really irritate me, just say "But it's a dry heat." You have to decide if making an additional $100 a day is worth being miserable. Or you could become an air conditioning repairman. I doubt they wear a suit and tie. Don't tell gentleman Jim I said this: He's still one of my favorite guys. Carl Meyer Assoc.
