It's time for this little spell of entertainment to come to an end. Cirque du Soleil last nght was quite fantastic and wandering back along "The Strip" was "interesting". Sorry, but that's the most polite term I can use given the traffic, the glitz, the lights, the consumerism, the all-you-can-eat buffets, the stretch Hummers...and so on. It's certainly an adult fantasyland.
We're heading into what seems to be the only warm place on the continent: southern Arizona. We have been following the weather news from Canada, the -40s in Saskatchewan, continual snow in the BC mountains, road closures on the Trans Canada Highway. The cold and snow has extended south quite some distance, too. We had some snow a few days ago as we crossed a mountain pass in California, but mainly it's just been cool. We woke up this morning to temperatures just below freezing here in Vegas, apparently about 10 degrees lower than normal. Plans to hike in the Grand Canyon in a couple of weeks could fizzle if it doesn't warm up enough to melt some of the snow on their trails. Hopefully a change in the jet stream will bring some relief to everyone.
Time to crank up the iPod and head south.
