As Tucson's old timers say:
"The ice cracked in the Santa Cruz yesterday."
The mercury in the Old Pueblo surged past the 100 mark for the first time this year at both the municipal airport and at the University of Arizona.
It was 101 at the airport and 102½ at the UA.
And to prove that the mercury is hitting its summer stride, the weatherman says it will be more than 100 again today.
Oh, well, it's a holiday.
