People the world over are flocking to Death Valley, CA to have their pictures taken next to its thermometer. In considering this, I was reminded of T.S. Eliot's line about how the world will end: Not with a bang but a whimper. Now add to that: Not with a whimper but a travel itinerary.
What's the world coming to? Answer: It's coming to LAX to rent a Lincoln so that we might drive into the desert in comfort. And once there? Remind the powers that be that 129F is 53.8C -- not 59C! My God!
