Desert Splendor

It's also where they tested atomic bombs. It's a wonder that state is even inhabitable, between how hot it is, and potentially how irradiated it still might be.

Actually that's mostly a myth. Think of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, these places have trees and grass growing, animals still roam, fly and swim, and people are still living there. After telling us that it would be radiated for hundreds if not thousands of years. You get radiation from the initial blast, but it soon starts to diminish, that is, dissipate soon afterwards. There is no up serge of people dying of radiation and/or cancer in Nevada, but with all the propaganda, I can see why you would think that.

That's fair. It is still really hot there though, that's not a myth.

Oh, it can get very hot, but its a dry heat, not humite like Florida.

It's weird to be cold, wet, and humid like in Washington though. Have you ever sat on a dry couch there? I haven't. There's always a little "squish" when you sit down.
