LIVING IN LAS VEGAS

May 30th
Just moved to Las Vegas,   Now this is a city that knows how to live!!   Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. Bright Lights, Glamor and Entertainment.  Mountains and deserts blended together.  What a place!  Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket.  It was beautiful.

Really heating up Got to 100 today.  Not a problem.  Live in an air conditioned home, drive an air conditioned car.

Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today.  Lots of cactus and rocks, what a breeze to maintain.  No more mowing for me.  Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week.  How do people get used to this kind of heat?  At least it's nice and windy thought.  But getting use to it is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th
Fell asleep buy the pool, got a 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body, missed two days of work, what a dumb thing to do.  I learned my lesson thought:  got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this. July 20th I didn't see Morgan (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning.  By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Morgan hadswollen up to the size of a shopping bag and exploded all of the $2,000 worth of leather upholstery.  I told the kids she ran away.  The car now smells like Kibbles and Poop!! No more pets in this heat!!

July 25th
This wind sucks.  It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!!  And it's hot as hell.  The house air conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th
Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now.  $1,500 in house payments and we can't even go inside.  Why did I ever come here?

Aug 4th
It's 115 degrees.  Finally got the air conditioner fixed today.  It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to about 90.  Stupid repairman pissed in my pool.

Aug 8th
If another wise ass cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going to tear his throat out.  Damn Heat.  By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like Roasted freaking Garfield!!

Aug 9th
Tried to run some errands after work.  Wore shorts, and sat on the black leather seating in the car.  I thought my butt was on fire.  I lost two layers of flesh.  Now my car smells like burnt butt and fried cat.

Aug 10th
The weather report might as well be a damn recording:  Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do anything for two months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.  Doesn't it ever rain in this barren desert?  Water rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700 worth of cactus just dried up and blew into the pool.  Even a cactus can't live in this heat.

Welcome to Las Vegas the sign says..  Temperature got to 123 today.  Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the Lincoln.  The installer came to fix it and said "Hot enough for you today?"  My wife had to spend   the $1,500 house payment to bail me out of jail.

Aug 16
Worst day of the damn summer. I'm not leaving the house.  Damn El-Nino rains finally came and the Flash Floods swept my Lincoln down the Vegas Wash.  The Lincoln is now floating in Lake Mead with it new $500 windshield.  That does it, we're moving back to California.
