Palm Springs Exposed

JadedJu here, taking advantage of the cutest butch on the net leaving town, by talking trash about her domocile.

Do you know how ridiculously hot it is in Palm Springs? (How hot is it, JadedJu?) So hot that they have these mister things spurting out of business storefronts in the downtown area. It's supposed to cool you down (and it does, marginally), but it also underscores the insanity of the entire place. It's the desert, in case you didn't know. But there's more green lawns and flora and fauna there than in the entire state of Rhode Island. And though everyone has a pool in which to cool off, due to the extreme heat the water ends up being lukewarm at best, and as a result is not in the least refreshing.

So, you've got the water being used to keep everything green, and the water being used to mist you and prevent you from passing out due to heat prostration, and the water in everyone's built-in pools, and where's all that water coming from? That's one of life's little mysteries, really, because the entire state of California has a terrible problem with drought (hence all the fires in the past few weeks.)

But here's the real kicker: You'd think that all this heat would really age people, but it appears to do quite the opposite, and instead acts as some sort of preservative. Older people move there for retirement and find that the aging process reverses. If they were 65 when they arrived, they find that the following year they are only 64. Within ten years they are only thirty. Why do you think that MJ moved there? Rumor has it that she was at least 73 (see Mopsie's picture of MJ, referenced in the previous post) when she arrived. And now? As far as I know, MJ is only 17. It practically (but not quite) makes living in regular temps of over 110 degrees well worth it, and helps explain her obsession with internet games.
