Palm Springs or as it will be known after WW3 barter town

After dropping dan off at the airport I drove from LA to palm Springs. I had to drive through San Bernardino Mountains which has some pretty cool views.



And windfarms



I don't know how this town exists. Its a modern marvel. Nothing should be able to survive here except snakes and cacti but somehow they keep the grass green and even have a Panera Bread. I think this would be the first town to fall into Anarchy if WW3 started. Its basically a bright spot in an otherwise post-apocalyptic nightmare. That might have sounded harsh, it is very nice. Really. Green grass, hundreds of golf courses, Starbucks as far as the eye can see. But it all feels really strange to me. Its so unnatural. Rich movie stars willed this town into being in the 50s and its been going ever since.



The project is pretty straight forward and hopefully we will end early. We'll see. The Hilton I'm staying at has a 24 hour pool and there is a casino across the street I might check out. But the town is pretty dead. Apparently the population triples in the winter time when the temperature is bearable. So right now there is just townies and old people. They literally have waster misters on the sidewalk to cool you down while you walk outside. Should be an interesting week...
