Saturday Jan 15

Another great day in the "Valley of the Sun", definitely shorts today, I think we must have got to around 73 or 74F. I played pool & Marg swam in the pool. It's an outdoor pool, but the water was 92F, Marg said it was bathtub warm. It was a popular place with the temperatures today. After, we washed the car on the driveway. Funny thing about this desert, it's very sandy & windy so no need to guess where the sand blows. The outside just mainly needed a wipe, anyway we needed to do the inside of the car from the trip down. I took the rubber mats out of the car to vacuum & left them out. There is generally no mud or slush or snow here. Had cocktails with our new neighbours, they are from Victoria, BC. Trouts were in town and stopped by late in the afternoon, so we had cocktails with them as well. Offered them some of the new Irish whiskey, but no takers.
