Yes, it actually does rain here in Western Arizona. According to the Chamber of Commerce website, the average annual rainfall totals in Lake Havasu City are 3.2 inches. The last couple of days have put a dent in that total, as the weather has turned wet, and cooler. I had to turn on our house heater for the first time this morning, with the outside temperature in the low 40's. These early days of December are ones that we have never spent here in Lake Havasu. This is the first year in the last 10, that we are not in Las Vegas, working the National Finals Rodeo. After a new company took over the official merchandise booths last year, and all of the problems associated with that takeover, we said adios when the event was over. Even though we had increased sales over the previous year, and made a nice paycheck, the experience turned from mostly fun, to drudgery, & frustration. We've always said that we'll continue to seek out mostly seasonal jobs, as long as they are enjoyable. Last years work experience at the NFR was not enjoyable.
Since we've always been in Vegas during this time period, we've missed the annual boat parade of lights under the London Bridge. The parade takes place on two different evenings in early December, and tonight is the second performance. It looks like the rain has moved on, so our evening routine will be a little different later today, as we check out a water parade of lights for the first time.
