First, I just finished hosting a nice lady whom some would call a 'shirt-tail relative'. In actuality, she is my great-nephew's maternal grandmother, and she has just spent a week out here staying with me to get away for awhile. She is now back home and overall it was a nice visit.
Second, the heat is definitely on (h/t to the late great Glenn Frey):
Currently we are under an excessive heat warning until tonight, but word is temps will be back to pushing 110's or better next week. Ah yes, summer in Sin City.
Could be worse I suppose...I'm lucky I'm not in Phoenix. Or even Laughlin ;-)
Or even worse: Death Valley (screengrab from NWS)
So in the meantime I am trying my best to stay cool and comfy, or relatively so. Usually after a week or so of 110+ temps it usually settles down to the usual 100s during the day. Then next month of course I have to brace myself for the monsoonal flow leftovers coming up from Arizona and New Mexico that will make things sticky and hot. By now I am used to it but it's never easy.
Finally, I bring you as a kind of a teaser preview before Peter's wonderful Sunday music selections, some interesting music vids courtesy of the Danish National Orchestra. They provide a nice take of movie themes from the classic spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone
And, being a Trekkie at heart, they also did a suite of Star Trek themes:
