A Byte-Size Tour of Palm Springs

Hi, Mopsie here (yes again!). I promise I won't hog the soap box all week, but I had to put up a link-tastic post in honor of the Most High Linker (as in status NOT under the influence of mary ja wanda).

If we are going to be staying over at MJ's (even cyberly), I think it's important that we all be prepared for Palm Springs. I'll be your professora for Palm Springs 101. (Nevermind that I've never been west of Kansas.)

First, of course, there is the weather. Bring your sunscreen -- we don't want you looking like this.

And please, Ladies and Gentlemen, don't just stop at your arms and legs. I need ya to strip and slather, because our first stop on the Palm Springs tour will be here. No one wants painful privates from a preventable sun poisoning.

During our drive, I have a small pamphlet on the history of Palm Springs. Please note that "On any given day during the winter season, over 100 nationally known figures can be seen around the desert."

Now, for our Mexico excursion trip (prescription drug run) tomorrow, everyone will need to brush up on their Spanish. My favorite is Hangman.

And just in case we get lost (since I'm driving and have no idea how to get there), please read this handy-dandy Survival Guide for the Desert. The best advice being: "It might be really helpful to have your lap top computer with you in the desert, so you can access this article. Keep that in mind next time you go wandering in the desert!"

And, of course, we need to be prepared for the fires. In honor of MJ here's a link to the Fire Prevention Crossword Page. You can solve the easy one and be a "Junior Firefighter" or solve the difficult one to become a "Fire Chief."

On a more serious note, if you would like to help out the citizens of California during these terrible fires, please check out this site.

Thank you for touring with Byte-Size Tours. We hope you will visit us again soon!
