    What do we get? The first tropical storm to hit here in 84 years.

    It's a Buc-ee's trip.

      My cleaning lady is there too on vacation.

      They say they’ll get multiple years worth of rain in a couple of days.

      Should be interesting.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

        I’m hearing 2 to 4 inches. It did rain a bit yesterday, but was still sunny. The desert is always surprising. Headed out to Red Rock Canyon today.

                    Went out to Red Rock Canyon yesterday, was next to a big storm. Not much rain on us but we got to see flash flooding in the desert up close. Pretty cool. Beautiful scenic drive. I wish this pic did it justice, but you just have to see it. IMG_3877.jpeg

                          Gorgeous, but please be careful. You don’t know the area, don’t know what roads cut through where. That runoff from the mountains is no joke.

                            I've been well aware of desert floods for many years. Don't worry.

                              Beautiful. Similar to Bryce Canyon.

                                  We also cruised the strip yesterday. I haven't been here since 1976. It's like Times Square x 1000. Grotesque, like in a sci-fi dystopia.

                                    Go watch the Pirates show at Treasure Island. If you time it right, you can also watch the water show at Bellagio.

                                        You’re a musical theater guy. That’s nothing but manmade spectacle…

                                        Seriously, the Treasure Island Show is a Broadway show.

                                          No. Cats is spectacle. The Drowsy Chaperone is a Broadway musical.
