Couldn't agree more about avoiding the furnace blast. Went to a late June conference with a work buddy in Phoenix a number of years back. We decided we would play tennis outdoors when the temperature dipped below 100. At 11 pm it finally cooled off to 99. Maybe it's because the court was still radiating heat like a Weber grill on high, but we didn't even finish the first set and called it.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
