Vegas in May can be quite nice. It can also be quite hot. Vegas is more of a crap shoot in that department than most places.

Which, considering our record over the last three years (was Chicago unseasonably hot?), I'm betting we get another freak hot streak over our weekend.

Dude. After DC (puddles on sidewalk, formerly people, thank whatever for Vortex and her willingness to drive me places), Jessica and I took the train up to NY - and the air conditioning was out on every car of the train except ours.

It was amazing. The entire passenger complement poured into our car. I left the car for a fw minutes to get some liquid, and it was like walking into a kiln, or a blast furnace.

But it's nice that I can stand up and smugly announce about SF should it get chosen, guess what, you can always cross the street if you prefer a different temperature and humidity level.

Give that man the Pun of the Day Award...

Whatever you do, please don't step on my Blue Suede Shoes.

Yes, I do actually own shoes that are blue suede.

Did you get them down at the end of Lonely Street...?

My sister and BIL are up on Potrero Hill, with a major west and south view from their sundeck, and it's normal to see Twin Peaks, off to the West, being devoured by Giant Mutant Fog Monsters, while there are naked people sunbathing on their roofs off to the south, a few blocks away.

I first read that as 'Giant Mutant Frog Monsters', and I was thinking people had been holding out on me while I was there.

William, I'm crushed. Truly. Would I have been so cruel? Never.

Although Graham Nash once claimed there were Giant Mutant Sponges in San Francisco Bay, courtesy of dumping. Those, I can't vouch for.

was Chicago unseasonably hot?

Nope. It was quite nice.

I've only been to SF the time I went for NillyFest. The weather was perfection. I was a pool of sweat after climbing Tank Hill, but that wasn't due to the weather. I was ready to move there. (The fabulous company I was keeping may have influenced my opinion of the city)

And here I would have figured David Crosby to be the one going on about Giant Mutant Anthings.

Which is funny because, if I remember correctly, it was a little warm and muggy for that time of year when we were there for Nillyfest.
