Today we left the bright lights of Las Vegas behind and also lost our temporary guest in Charlotte. After dropping Ms. Langmandigo off at the airport we started on our way to Long Beach, CA, where we would be meeting up some of the local Sigma Pi members as well as some of the higher ups in our national organization for the Dodgers game. Unfortunately, since Lyn's flight was at noon we were forced to drive through the hottest part of the day in order to make it in time to tailgate before the game.
We watched intently as the temperature rose on our thermometer slowly from 92 degrees at 8 am up to 98 degrees at around noon. Shortly after that, the digital thermometer read "Hi" instead of a number reading, presumably since it cannot display a three digit number. Oh yes, and this is the temperature INSIDE of the rv with the windows open going 55 mph since we the AC doesn't actually work. Needless to say, perspiration was at an all time high.
Naturally Charlotte began to have trouble in the heat and decided to stop for a break (that's what we're going to call breaking down from now on) and "cool off" in the 110 degree heat of the desert. A few hours later she was ready to go again, so we slowly but surely made our way to Long Beach, arriving at aroud 5 pm.
We met up with some of the Beta Omicron chapter guys, got a tour of their house, and then hit the road with four of them to the Dodgers game...

Charlotte just needs a few breaks in the heat. In the South, they call it "Glowing". Glad to hear that you made it in time for the Dodger's Game. Love, Mom L.
Maverick like Charlotte took many a breaks in and around the Las Vegas area. The heat is crazy hot there and I can fully attest to the feeling out there!
