Well, no news worth getting worked up over again today. That wasn't Paris Hilton's cocaine in Paris Hilton's purse in between Paris Hilton's lipsick and Paris Hilton's wallet. Tiger Woods is playing golf. BP is still soaked in oil... and flooding the airwaves with "down-home" working family community conscious commercials. Sick of those yet? So the news of the day comes from out west, where Brian and the family have reached The Hoover Dam and Las Vegas. He's putting a positive spin on it, brave guy. The ugly truth is that the desert is still a post-atomic wasteland where the very dirt itself continues to glow at night as it has ever since the 1940's. I don't know if it's the radiation or the heat, but Brian failed to mention that it only took him ten seconds to walk across the Hoover Dam. Luckily the Army was there already, just to the west of the dam, dealing with another problem that occurs on practically a monthly basis. They were able to keep Brian from causing problems and take care of their arachnid troubles without mobilizing any extra troops.
I imagine that one day the "west" will be something to be appreciated, but for now it's just another sun-baked desert, parched and cracked lakebeds surrounded by badlands and scrub weeds. It will not be fit for the presence of humans in even our grandchildren's lifetime.
I'd post a comment, but I'm too sleepy to come up with anything interesting to say. I took massive doses of painkillers last night in an attempt to kill the migraine that I've had for 2 days, and now I'm really groggy. They never did get rid of my headache, though. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteYeah we have those giant spiders out here too! I think they migrated via rail cars and seem to love the giant trees out here. We lose a person or two a month to them but the media always spins it like a hiker just got "dehydrated", not had all the fluids sucked from his body! But we all know the truth. Thanks, Vlad
