Hope you enjoyed that brief period of time where the temperature was tolerable for Tucsonans — you know, between 70 and 80; anything else is too hot or cold — because those days are about to be over.

The National Weather Service is forecasting a high of 100 on Sunday at the Tucson International Airport, where this region's official weather records are recorded. If that triple-digit disaster does come to happen Sunday it would mark the second earliest we've ever reached that ... milestone.

The earliest: April 19, 1989. The latest? June 22, back in 1905.

The official 'average' occurrence of the first 100-degree day is May 26, according to the National Weather Service, but that's based on data going back to the late 1890s. This decade it's come around May 16 on average, with last year not happening until May 28.

Pardon me while I go out and stock up on SPF 90 sunblock and portable self-misters.

Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post found this completely depressing chart in the archives of Pew Research somewhere. I know it's a little too easy to chortle at the ignorance of the American public, but I'm almost surprised Judge Joe Brown and Judge Reinhold didn't make the chart at this point.

Luke Cusack of Redline Sports Grill says he has parted ways with former business partner Lindy Reilly, but he gives a far different account than the one Reilly provided yesterday.

Cusack says the idea behind the business was not only to serve Reilly's unique take on burgers and other items, but to have Lindy on site as a sort of local celebrity.

But he says Reilly stopped spending much time at the restaurant as the months rolled on, so they made a new agreement for the restaurant to use Reilly's name and image for $1,000 a month.

Cusack said he never shared any harsh words with Reilly, and that he thought everything was fine between them until he received a letter demanding $90,000 from Reilly's lawyer several weeks ago.

"Out of the blue we got a letter from his lawyer saying we have 10 days to change everything," said Cusack.

"I never told him to fuck off and that he couldn't have his equipment," said Cusack. "I'm sorry he harbors so much hate."

Cusack says Reilly and his lawyer have since dropped the amount of their demand to $30,000.

When asked what he thought may have caused the rift, Cusack also pointed to another happening at the restaurant.

"Our customers were coming to us and telling us that we needed to have more than just burgers, so I started working on a menu with more items. I guess that upset him and he thought he’d throw it back in my face," said Cusack.

Cusack also says he paid Reilly all the money owed to him, something Reilly flatly denied today.

"It's just lies," said Reilly, adding that there was no new agreement for a lower per-month payment. "He wanted to re-do the deal and I said 'I'm not doing anything else if it's not in writing.'"

Reilly says Cusack agreed to pay him $1,500 a month, two-thirds of food sales and two percent of all drinks sold there. He says he received about $8,000 in total. He also says Cusack took creative control over some menu items, which was strictly prohibited by their business agreement.

Reilly said he has been banned from the property and that he is continuing with his attempt to take back the rights to the food he created.

As for the future of Redline Sports Grill, Cusack says he has rewritten the menu and basically scrubbed the building of any sign of Reilly. He's says there are now 20 kinds of hot wings, new salad and that many more items are made with homemade ingredients than when Reilly ran the kitchen.

I asked Cusack if the items on the new menu resemble Reilly's food - as Reilly indicated yesterday - and he said some items from the old menu did carry over, but they are items that other restaurants also serve. He said if anyone has any doubt about it they should come down and check it out for themselves.

Reilly says he got his hands on a preliminary copy of the menu and that the only thing that has changed on many items are the names.

"So like, there's a burger with blue cheese and bacon, lots of people have a burger with blue cheese and bacon, but I'm known for a certain style of food in this town, and that's what I'm trying to protect," said Reilly. "He's stealing me. He's trying to steal me. That's what got me fired up."

There were other contenders, but this guy is clearly living the Velveeta lifestyle.

Catch the "Coppola Restoration" of The Godfather Part 2 tonight at 7 p.m. at El Con 20 (3601 E. Broadway Blvd.) and Park Place 20 (5870 E. Broadway Blvd.). Here's more information from a press release:

Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNK), a leading motion picture exhibitor, is following up the successful presentation of the Francis Ford Coppola’s restored version of his Academy Award®-winning “The Godfather,” with an exclusive, one-night only XD presentation of “The Godfather Part 2” on Thursday, April 19, 2012. The “Coppola Restoration” of the film, presented by Paramount Pictures, was meticulously restored using 5.1 digital surround sound and re-mastered using state-of-the-art technology, all under the watchful eyes of director Francis Ford Coppola, archivist Robert Harris and cinematographer Gordon Willis.

The brilliant companion piece to “The Godfather” continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone Family from a screenplay by Francis Ford Coppola based on Mario Puzo’s novel. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, “The Godfather Part 2” tells two important stories: the roots and rise of a young Don Vito, played with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents who made “The Godfather”, Coppola produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision, and undeniably the best sequel ever made. Robert De Niro won an Oscar, and the film received six Academy Awards ®, including Best Picture in 1974. The film has been rated R by the MPAA.

The Coppola Restoration of “The Godfather Part 2” 40th Anniversary Edition as a project began in 2006 between Paramount Pictures and the director. Archivist Robert Harris joined the project, followed by the original cinematographer of the film Gordon Willis, to complete the team who worked arduously on the film for over a year going through the original prints, re-release prints, and negatives, shot by shot, foot by foot, frame by frame and even sprocket hole by sprocket hole.

While Spotify seems to think Ladylike is "a rock-oriented version of the Pussycat Dolls" assembled by "KSU Studios, an entertainment company headquarted in Malaysia", the band playing Club Crawl on Saturday night is actually a Phoenix power-pop act formed from the ashes of one of my favorite Arizona bands ever, The Loveblisters. Do you enjoy the slightly dramatic hooks of current chart-toppers fun.? Then you'll love Ladylike.

Their latest video, for "Straitjacket Love", is above, their self-titled album is on Spotify and Bandcamp, and they'll be performing live on the Club Congress outdoor stage at 10 pm Saturday night.

The subject of keeping chickens within the city limits is nearer and dearer to many hearts than one might think. A growing number of people are quite interested in raising their own chickens, both for the nutritious, cruelty-free eggs and the rich fertilizer said hens and roosters produce.

A new Facebook group called Tucson CLUCKS - The Tucson City Living Urban Chicken Keeping Society - has emerged to serve this population of chicken enthusiasts. From the sounds of things the members are looking to loosen the regulations on keeping other kinds of animals too, which means that herd of pygmy goats you've been considering could be moving in sooner than expected.

Here's an excerpt of the description of the group from the initial Facebook posting:

A group for allies of urban agriculture in Tucson and Pima County, Arizona. Allies include supporters as well as current keepers of food producing animals.

This group was designed to mobilize supporters of urban animal husbandry in preparation for upcoming public hearings held by the Tucson City Council to examine proposed changes to current animal policies and land use codes.

Proposed changes include eliminating current property line setbacks for animal structures (currently set at 50 ft from property line) and reclassification of animal policy based on animal units in relation to square footage of residential lots.

There's a really great moment around the 2:59 mark of this video where R. Kelly is dancing, seemingly basking in the bliss of his own bad-ass self, with a thousand lights illuminating him from behind, and I realized...this guy is seemingly totally unaware of everything everyone thinks about him. The jokes about the R. Kelly cruise. The Chappelle show sketch. The accusations. None of that exists in Kellsland, and that's either amazing or terrifying.

Anyhow, it's a pretty good upbeat love song, and the video has a bunch of scantily clad women and a Remy Martin product placement. I suppose what you'd expect, but it's a pretty good song, if you miss the work of Teddy Pendergrass.

I am generally mildly upset when any game show stops production, but I'll particularly miss the extended run of Cash Cab, which managed to be clever, fun and actually be based on people knowing things. Nothing lasts forever, I suppose.

The ride's over for Discovery Network's Cash Cab. Vulture has learned exclusively that, after nearly seven years and more than 200 episodes, the cable network has decided to halt production on the Emmy–winning game show. A Discovery PR rep confirmed the demise. Hosted by Ben Bailey, Cab tweaked the conventional quizzer format by recruiting its contestants from the ranks of unsuspecting taxi passengers....

Because it usually aired outside of prime time, Discovery never made a big deal out of the show's Nielsen ratings, but TV insiders clearly loved it. Cash Cab beat out veterans such as Jeopardy! and The Price is Right to win the Daytime Emmy for Best Game Show in 2008, 2009, and 2010; Bailey won for Best Host in 2010. Repeats of the show will continue to air in syndication, and it's possible producer Lion Television could shop the show, which was based on a European format, to other cable networks.
