	'Nonsoon': City may set mark for 100-degree days It's bad enough we're predicted to break today's record high of 109.

Misters spray millions of gallons of water into the Arizona air. They look and sound refreshing, bsut not everyone agrees that they work.

	Splash into summer Need a sure-fire way to keep the rugrats entertained for the summer while school is out? With more than 30 swimming pools and an array of special activities, Tucson and Pima County recreational centers may be just the ticket to keeping the "I'm bored"s at bay.
	Learning the dog paddle Jake and Chloe don't get to play "Marco Polo" during their swimming lessons. But it's unlikely the dogs care much, and they probably aren't embarrassed by their bright orange life vests, either.
