Hot!

A blazing desert sun is keeping Las Vegas toasty today. It really is a dry heat (relative humidity is 7% right now) that would be insufferable in more humid climes. It sounds strange, but I’m going to miss this weather. I haven’t had to shovel the heat once since we moved here fourteen years ago. I remember the movers who unloaded us being rather amused by the sleds we brought from Nebraska, although Mt. Charleston (less than an hour’s drive from the Strip) has winter weather and sports which include a ski slope. I’m hopelessly in love with Colorado, a fact that was reinforced by our recent trip to Telluride. Mary and I look forward to resuming our regular trips to Rocky Mountain National Park (unless we find work, we may have to hitchhike there) and of being near our old Denver stomping grounds. The reality of our new future is slowly but surely sinking in on us which may take some of the sting out of our last summer in Las Vegas.
