I Ain’t Loving These Odds, Baby…
I knew it was dry but this is crazy! Brothas’ gotta drink out here, yo!
When I first moved to Las Vegas a number of years ago we were already at like year three or four of what is now like an eight or nine year-long “drought.” I remember thinking, “wow – drought in a desert? It’s supposed to be normally dry. It must be like crazy dry.”
