Fear the electric bill this month! I’m sitting in the cool, comfortable confines of my house, enjoying a refreshing and reinvigorating 69 degrees of glorious, god-given air conditioning. Outside it’s a crushing 117 degrees of dry heat, so dry and so heated, in fact, that yesterday when I went to turn on my wipers and squirt some water to clear away a bit of dust on the windshield, there was literally a little thin trail of rubber left behind on the glass around where the edge of the wiper blade had passed. No, I am not kidding. I’m not allowing myself to consider the ecological impact of cooling my personal shelter to a differential of 48 degrees from the outside air, because well, I gotta have it cool, baby!

It’s been some peculiar weather America has been experiencing, in general, as of late. Late season snow storms in the northern Midwest, unexpected cool, mild nights out here in the desert, and now, on the turn of a single week, summer has arrived in full effect a little early.

It was literally ten days ago that I was writing about just how wonderfully mild it has been out here when it would normally be warming up a little bit.

Normally this time of year we’re averaging some pretty warm daily temperatures with very pleasant cool-downs in the evening. The last two days have had us experiencing some weird wind patterns that are more common in March and April, not still in June. It’s been really dusty – yesterday was a straight-up dust storm. Billboard signs had been torn or ripped off on signs all over and dust and debris was collecting in weird places.

Like most things out here in Las Vegas, though, there’s almost always an upside….

It’s never lost on me; it never gets old. The place I call home has to have the most fantastic weather of any major city on earth.

I grew up in South Texas. Since most of my family and a ton of friends are there, it’s home to me(okay, not my new home,but it still gets credit,) and there are elements of the weather there that I do miss. Okay, there is one: thunderstorms. I really miss that awesome, violent, beautiful Southern thunderstorm weather. It scares some people, particularly kids. When I was a kid it made me wish it would never be over. I loved it. I’ve always found it relaxing, invigorating.
