No Thru Traffic

Going 90 for 6 hours across the Arizona, Nevada and California desert makes for a hot day. Rows of billboards that line both sides of the road become exciting when there is nothing else to look at besides sand.  My previous knowledge of the desert comes solely from Warner Bro’s cartoons so I am cautious of the imminent danger of a cop car parked behind every billboard.  There was no surprise when the landscape scrolled along beside us in its reddish haze and I half expected to peer down and see a purple Roadrunner keeping up with me.

The original plan was to make our way to Las Vegas and partake in what every young male does in the city of sin.  See Cher and Bette Midler live on the strip.  The entire trip we have only been able to contain our excitement for these shows by sidetracking ourselves with natures splendors.  While on our way to Vegas we stopped for lunch in Bullhead city to escape the heat and eat a lunch fit for kings. While chatting over Taco Bell Alex looked up prices for Cher and Midler in Vegas and we soon realized our dreams were pipe.  Green Mario pipes without the coins.  We decided to redirect our route straight to L.A to visit our good friend Sugi. Who is now Sugi Howser M.D. living in a fresh pad in East LA. Sugi is the hostess with the mostess giving us ice cream in various bowls made of tropical fruit and providing us places to sleep right under the ceiling fan.

Earlier today Sugi took us down to Huntington and Newport Beach which was amazing. We spent the day like so many others before us, playing nude beach volleyball and eating ice cream in the Southern California sun.
