Good morning all, yet another 110 day in store, or close, then we drop to the mid-90's by Friday with some decent chances of rain. I say, "or close" because the forecasts are always all over the map and the TV folks seem to hit it closer that the Internet apps do. Big storm up in Bullhead City, flooding, power poles snapped in two and a real mess. Bullhead City is across the river from Laughlin, NV, kind of a mini-Las Vegas. We have so many casinos here I wonder why anyone goes to Vegas just to gamble, we also have some big-name entertainers there as well. A few years ago, one of the Indian tribes traded for some land near the Cardinals football stadium, then declared it as part of their reservation. After a few years of court battles (mostly with other tribes), they now have a huge casino/hotel right in town.
Tom, we have had one reversible lane street in Phoenix for decades that has worked well. Some folks are questioning the wisdom of putting a double lane one on a major freeway, why not just add one lane in each direction they ask. Don't really care, I do my best to avoid that freeway if I can, normally folks treat it like the Autobahn. The last time I was on it heading to Sedona, I was being pushed by traffic and saw that I was going over 90 and cars were passing me like I was an old lady.
A few miles later I was crawling along almost to a stop. That's I-17 north of the Phoenix area, hurry up and wait... Oh yeah, you can always count on some major rollover or a jackknifed truck blocking both lanes with a 20-mile backup.
Just one appointment today, but an important one, I get to know the results of the CT scan I had last week and if I need to go back for some touch-up work. Might try to hit Costco later today. I was told the best time to go there is late afternoon, and they're right. Good parking and easy checkout. Everyone seems to want to go early in the day, or right after work.
Enough for now, take care, have a great day and stay safe...
