March is here already...

Ok I admit it.  Goggle didn't like my idea and shut me down on adsense.  Who knew you couldn't market me? So I am picking up my toys and going to play by myself for a while.

The weather is Las Vegas is starting to change.  It can be nasty cold here but never wet and usually comes in the form of North wind.  They get the snow and we get the cold.  I am not a cold or wet fan so it is nice when I feel my little world drying out.  Hurry to visit because it will soon be hot, hot, hot.  I love the heat but some do not.

Speaking of rain and wind ................ We have "verga or virga" which is rain that never reaches the ground.  The air is so dry here that it all evaporates.  Sometimes you can see it in the sky at about 8,000 feet or even closer but you will not feel the rain drops.  They say that verga is good at creating micro bursts and I think that is the wind we feel.

Wow thought I had lost you forever.

Started this board and intended to do a "dear diary" regularly and then just lost where it was.

OK, I got in now.

A little about me:

Born and raised in San Diego, California when it was a Navy town.
Today it is still a beautiful city but the emphasis is on tourism and man
there are a lot of them.  I would love to move back there but don't
think I will ever get the chance.

I must try to stay contented here in another beautiful city, Las Vegas,
Nevada.  I have lived and worked in this city for some time and it is
like no other.  I huge transit population but it still has a small town feel for the locals.
