Hot Day Today

A prescription was ready for me to pick up in Gallup.

Rather than head there during the latter part of the day with higher temperatures, I elected to head there in the morning. It is a good thing that I did. According to my WeatherBug phone app, it is 95° outside. The above photo confirms it.

After getting my prescription, I headed over to The Silver Screen Café at the El Rancho Hotel for a plate of Monument Valley Enchiladas.

I have mentioned the Monument Valley Enchiladas before, but some may be wondering what they are.

According to the hotel's website, here's what the Monument Valley Enchiladas are:

Corn Tortillas, Scrambled Eggs, Crispy Potatoes, Chorizo, Green Chile, Cheddar & Asadero, Avocado, House Salsa and Warm Tortilla

The enchiladas were good, as usual. I had some coffee with them and, for some reason, the coffee tasted extra great.

While at the restaurant, I was perusing my phone and saw that the temperatures in Arizona appeared to be uniformly over 100°. I showed the map of Arizona with the temperatures to my server, Karina and we both agreed that we're better off being in New Mexico. Lake Havasu City, for example, has a forecast high of 121° today. 

Following breakfast and coffee, I went over to Albertson's market to pick up a few things, but the store was closed due to a power outage. I then headed over to Walgreen's and got a couple of things I needed. The power outage wasn't affecting them, even they are in the same shopping center.

After getting home, I spent the rest of the day inside with the swamp cooler on full.
