Temperatures reached 117 degrees here in Las Vegas this afternoon. This follows a record-tying 115 yesterday. At 10 PM last night, when we checked into the Monte Carlo, it was still 107 degrees! Tomorrow is a repeat of today. Things cool off, I guess, next weekend, when we leave. "Cool off" takes a new meaning when the temperatures will still reach 107 or so.
That said, we really weren't uncomfortable out there this afternoon for four hours or so at a water park. We took the kids, at Uncle Matt's and Linda's suggestion (and they joined us), to Wet 'n' Wild.
As Karen said, "It really was more uncomfortable" back in Michigan last week at 85 degrees and 90 percent humididity.
I know that's all hard to believe. I guess this is one of those situations where, "You have to be there."

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
