ummmm, like, it's 108 degrees fahrenheit in Las Vegas today. NO WONDER everyone stays in the casinos all the time, (or the Western wear stores where they bought THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!)
People who come to Canada from hot, dry states are always saying, " Oh it's different because there's no humidity, it doesn't feel as hot" Oh, ya, it does! HOTTER, cause there's no humidity. My eyeballs are stuck in their sockets. I exercised my dogs for 10 minutes and it took them 2 hours to recover in the airconditioning, which doesn't work, BTW, not that it isn't working, it just can't keep up. The inside of the well insulated Airstream walls are hot, even the ones with the MOUSE FUR!
I find myself dreaming about bodies of water, looking over each hill as we drive to see if a lake might appear. We are outta here! It's scenic; I'll say that. I motored down the windows, I shot a pic, I motored 'em right back up and I bemoaned the degree of coolness we just lost. So did the dogs!
Lake Mead right in front of the Hoover Dam
We went to the Hoover Dam today and it's quite an amazing sight....it really struck me how arrogant humankind is, to just go, "Hey, let's build a highway through here, just blast through these mountains of rock, oh! and damn up this little river and build this ginormous bridge over it!" Who does that? Only the human, the wondrous, unbelievabley indelible spirit of the human being. Inspiring, outrageous and obviously divinely lead. (And thanks be to God, someone invented A/C!)
We're hitting the road to drive over to Big Sur, in the morning, and swim, and swim, and swim!
Just think how great that water will feel! You probably won't come out of it until your whole body is prune-like! : )
ReplyDeleteHA! so true, Liga so true although, I have to say that the water is SO cold in Carmel because of the Monterey trench which is 3000 feet deep, that I couldn't really swim, but it was comforting to know it was there and SO beautiful!
