It's too damn warm and sunny to be almost Christmas. This time two years ago we were knee-deep in snow facing sub zero temperatures and this week the average high is 50 degrees leading up to Christmas. I think it irks me because this mild weather will reinforce the tourist's myth that we live in a perpetually hot, barren desert here in Reno. Hell, I think one of my 40 year old cousins back in Ohio still doesn't get that Palm trees don't grow here. And I'm almost certain she still thinks my family used to live in Albuquerque, "Mexico."
Anyhoo...
