Summer in Las Vegas

It's summer in Las Vegas with triple digit temperatures.
It's August in Las Vegas with cloudy sky and high humidity.
Traffic on Sahara Avenue is horrid;
stop and go,
go and stop;
if you don't check the water in your radiator before
leaving the house,
then just go home when the thermostat gage informs you
the car is about to over heat.

It's no use driving any more after that
no matter how much business you have to conduct,
even if the business is of life and death importance...
for get it.

Take the hot car home
park it in the shade
and wait until morning to check the radiator
and fill it with water;
no business matter is so imparitive
and you know it won't start again
until after it cools down
six or seven hours later;
let's face it
cabs are too expensive to take home
and walk from the bus stop to the house
in this heat is deadly.

Remember,
it's summer in Las Vegas
carry a bottle of water with you
and check the water in the radiator
before you back your car out of the driveway.
