Las Vegas right at midnight - now there's excess
electricity consumption. You can see it from dozens of
miles away - I wouldn't be surprised if the light
pollution could be seen at Mt. Palomar.
In 1998, I was playing Army at the National Training Center that is
part of
Fort Irwin, CA (out west of Barstow). One night, I found myself on the
very
extreme northwest part of the installation and using binoculars, I
could make
out Vegas pretty easily. I don't know how far away I was but I was
probably
within less than 100 miles.
Nowadays that rather egregious city is bigger,
sprawlier, and more wasteful. In addition to all
the electricity, which it probably gets relatively
cheaply from hydro power but also could do well
with solar, it is a huge water drain, which is the
part that really concerns me (as well as many of
the communities downstream).
No recipe today but I've been sampling at a few nice eateries in
Williamsport
during my stay here (I will be driving home to TN tomorrow).
Don't worry about the recipe, we'll just put
it on your tab.
