It was 92 here yesterday. About four o'clock it got intolerable and I dove into my burrow for the shade and air conditioning. (If you're complaining about the environmental impact, I use long-life and CFL bulbs and if I'm not in a room, nothing's on).
I've been watching the weather in Gerlach/Black Rock Desert fairly assiduously for the past week, trying to get a sense of what the weather's going to be like out there for the Burn and packing accordingly. They just got smacked with a frackin' supercell yesterday! Thunder 'n lightning, heavy rain, high winds and hail even!! The bad news is, BRC DPW are out there surveying and laying the grid and building First Camp and the Man; the good news is, those goblins are tough enough to handle whatever the Playa Gods throw at 'em, chew it up and spit it back in Their faces!
When I was growing up, everything stopped if it hit 80. Everyone dove for cover and swore about how hot it was. Most of the time it hung around the mid-sixties. This was in Santa Cruz, CA, and they're lucky if it dips *below* 65 there now.
Ah the weather is actually giving us a break as is the gas..well the gas confuses me..When we went out and passed a gas station it was 3.09 and when we came back through it was 2.87 How strange an then the next morning it was 3.19

this is the beginnig of the apocalypse that will destroy human kind as we know it ...................................it will be like that movie the postman
So much fer the people who aren't rich and have to pay er these high prices..I me we need a van here!! My sister has those lil babies and needs me to go out with her and her husband sometime so I can watch them and the van has six seats two in each row..
Vans eat gas like crazy as would any larger vehicle..People have to work several jobs to sapport their family, because one just isn't enough anymore
