What is he ranting on about…? :confused: If he thinks Las Vegas is in California, he’s already been sniffing that suntan lotion too much!!! :rolleyes: 😀

The heat was melting my head and I didn’t notice crossing states. My sincerest apologies to the citizens of Nevada (and California). Now where’s that sun lotion? Sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifffffffff!! :diablo:

Ah….. sunny California. I can smell the palms, great shots. I too am off to turn green whilst casually sniffing my bottle of sun lotion. 😀

See, if I’d been there you wouldn’t have had to worry about the heat-haze. Flooding, yes, but definitely not heat-haze.

Some excellent pictures in there. I’ll just go away and quietly turn green…………… 😉
