>>>> May 30th: Just moved to Las Vegas. Now this is a town
>>> that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy
>>> evenings. What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally
>>> found my home. I love it here.
>>>> June 14th: Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a
>>> problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an
>>> air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun
>>> everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.
>>>> June 30th: Had the backyard landscaped with western
>>> plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to
>>> maintain. No more mowing the lawn 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 kind of windy though. However, getting used
>>> to the heat is taking longer than I expected.
>>>> July 15th: Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd
>>> degree burns over 60% of my body). What a dumb thing to do.
>>> I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun
>>> in a climate like this.
>>>> July 20th: I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the
>>> car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot
>>> car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of
>>> a shopping bag and stank up the upholstery. The car now
>>> smells like Kibbles and shits. I learned my lesson though.
>>> No more pets in this heat.
>>>> July 25th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant
>>> freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home
>>> air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman
>>> charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to
>>> order parts. I'm gonna kill the next guy that says; but
>>> it's a dry heat! Yeah, so's a freakin' oven!
>>>> July 30th: Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3
>>> nights now. $425,000 house and I 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 all the way down to 85. I hate this stupid
>>> town.
>>>> Aug. 8th: If another wise person cracks, 'Hot
>>> enough for you today?'I'm going to strangle him.
>>> Damn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is
>>> boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like
>>> baked cat!!
>>>> Aug. 9th: Tried to run some errands after work. Wore
>>> shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought
>>> my butt was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the
>>> hair on the back of my legs. Now my car smells like burnt
>>> hair and baked cat.
>>>> Aug 10th: The weather report might as well be a darn
>>> recording. Hot and sunny Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny.
>>> It's been too hot to do much for 2 months and the
>>> weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
>>> Doesn't it ever rain in this damn desert? Water
>>> rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will
>>> just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live
>>> in this heat.
>>>> Aug. 14th: Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115
>>> today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the windshield
>>> out of the car. The installer came to fix it and said, Hot
>>> enough for you today? My sister had to spend $1500 to bail
>>> me out.
