41°F right now on the East Coast of Las Vegas. Rain expected through
Monday night. Two weeks ago we had some rains. On a single day there
were ~167 car accidents. People can't drive unless the roads are dry.

:-\

Lets face it, half of them can't drive PERIOD. What I noticed most
about the "city of lost wages" in November when I was there 20 odd
years ago was the SIRENS. Cop sirens, fire sirens, ambulance sirens -
24 hours a day, constantly, one after the other or fighting to be
heard over each other. Never heard such a racket before or since.


Not many natives here. Everybody is a transplant from somewhere. I'm
in a quite neighborhood and stay away from downtown. Maybe you stayed
in the upper part of the city, known as "naked city". I warn people
about that area. You should have called me ;-)


North LV is a fine place... I often run I15/93 from MT to AZ and I try
to time my passage through SLC and LV for times when the natives are
subdued.
