More proof that the Imperial Valley is growing hugely – there are two El Pollo Loco’s opening here later this year. One will be only a few miles away, mmmm mmmm good!

Everyone is aware of the heat that one endures in the desert during the summer months, but many people don’t realise that we also get some nasty winds that pick up the dust and create little blizzards. Of course, Saturday I had my MINI detailed so last night the winds were fierce and down by Imperial Airport there were patches where you could not see more than a few feet where the dust was being blown across the road. I’m glad I was only driving by and not trying to land there. So today the MINI has a nice film of dust on it; still looks good though.

Another interesting thing about desert life is that when its hot outside the water in the toilet bowl gets hot. When you sit down to do your business, sometimes you get a real warm blast of air up between your legs. And not a lotta people know that.

The cable modem has been acting up all week and Adelphia sent someone out to look at it today. Temperatures are now easily in the 110s during the day and it was already 92 at 9am this morning when the guy arrived. He had to do some things outside for maybe 5 minutes and looked a soaked wreck when he was finished. And this is just the start of his day. A lot of people have to work outdoors for some or all of the day so I just wanted to give a shout out to them, much respect to those who can handle it.
