On my summer trip to and from Palm Springs, CA it was HOT the entire time. As I pulled into the hotel parking lot it was 107. I was taking three showers per day.
On the way home I took a detour to visit the Very Large Array radio telescope facility, then down to Truth or Consequences, NM.
It was lunch time, so I drove to the downtown area looking for a restaurant. I saw a large painting on the side of a building with a cowboy riding a horse and the words CAFE. Then I saw the hook for me, covered parking.
I started assuming it was a typical small town cafe. Bad assumption! I go into the front door area, and it is a open patio seating area with a bit of shade from a netting. It was 105 degrees, and a dozen people eating OUTSIDE! I knew I did not fit in as 100% of the people there had multi colored hair and not normal human hair colors. Lots of greens, blues and oranges, stripes, and neck tattoos, facial piercings and somehow a old grey haired white man like me felt like the oddball. They had a seating area inside of three bar stools that were occupied. So outside eating only, in 100 plus heat. Nope, I will skip that.
So maybe the heat cooked their brains, or just living there has adapted them to like heat. I just think they were all lizard people, likely at night they eat the out of town people. I was happy to head out of town long before I found out.
I was going to stop at White Sands museum but it is outdoors and 105 is too hot for me. I did spend time at the Alamogordo Space museum, but it is mostly indoors. Roswell was 105.
