Today's phrase:
I'm in Arizona, hence the phrase.

Phonetic with emphasis on bold syllable:
Ah-say cah-lore enn Ah-ree-zone-ah, ah-oon enn oak-too-bray,
Translation:
It's hot in Arizona, even in October.

I've been out of town, and it's been a while, but I have some good stuff for you.
Today's phrase:
One of those idioms that doesn't translate exactly.
Actual:
Con el dinero baila el perro.
Phonetic with emphasis on bold syllable:
Cone ail dee-nair-oh by-lah ell pay-roe.
Translation:
With money the dog dances.
It is an idiom, and the English meaning would be "With money anything is possible." You may not agree, but its a cool idiom.
