VEGAS ?……… I’m in, I’ll drive!

Borat, sorry for you, but I’m not a communist. I’m a capitalist pig living in Las Vegas, a very strange city. I am a desert rat. It appears Fan and NRG are desert rats as well. There are a few of us. I spent two years living in the Seattle area, and I wore long sleeve shirts the entire time, even in 95° weather. I was cold.

Come to Vegas. We’ll violate and rape you, and THEN steal your money, and yet you’ll leave feeling you had the time of your life. It’s a VERY strange city, indeed. You’ll need Tequila. Beer just won’t cut it.

What’s really a violation is when club owners turn off the AC in order to make people buy more beer…

Try riding a bike “motorcycle” in 115 plus temps. Feels lie your skin is just going to burn right off.

“…beer is useless”. Now I feel violated.

Sounds like a personal problem, A4. Something you need to share with us? Or a psychologist?

At 121°, beer is useless.

I love when people tell me that the heat isn’t so bad because “it’s a dry heat”. But when it’s above 115° outside, it just kills almost everything. Unlike humid heat, shade just doesn’t help. The wind doesn’t cool you off, either. Instead, it feels like someone turned on a giant hair dryer.

Just a tip for the LLN folks, when I know I’m going to be shooting in heat like that, I chug a 64 ounce bottle of water just before I go outside. This is because you saturate your body with water, and it takes longer to dehydrate. If you ration your water, dehydration will start sooner, and the only way to stop it is to get out of the heat.

Of course, you have cars, so you hopefully have AC. But then again, cars overheat quickly in heat like that…

The highest I’ve been in was 127°, but that was back in high school. I don’t think it’s been that hot here since.

At 121 degrees the only thing I’d be spying for is the nearest cold beer store.

Simba is hilarious! But out in this desert, that is a job I would HATE to have. I would definitely be a lot more fit than I am now, though.

When you get to Vegas, come by and say “Hi.”
