a) The high yesterday was only 98* and it was overcast/rainy. You should have been here earlier in the week when it was 110+ and we were melting on the sidewalk.

b) how else do you know who to call when you've been injured in an accident?

It said 102 on our car. 110 sounds hellish.

Never seen so many attorney ads in my life. Strips clubs and law firms.

I'm thinking about becoming a specialist: "Have you been hurt in a strip club? Call me." In all seriousness, the reason for all the attorney ads is a combination of Nevada's lax advertising laws as it pertains to lawyers, Nevada's "Wild West" reputation as a judicial forum, and a bunch of terrible, awful drivers.

As for the heat, talk to me in January or February. In short, we deal with the 3-4 months of heat and enjoy 5-6 months of great weather and 2-3 months of very mild "winter." It's a good trade off.

While I was clerking, there was a case involving a stripper trying to deduct her boob job as a business expense. There may or may not have been many closed door "meetings" to review and discuss the evidence.

My Arizona family also tells little lies to themselves to feel better.

I’ll take brutal winters over hellish summers any day, so long as I have a pleasant rest of the year.

The worst is when you live in a place that has both a brutal winter and hellish summer. I will never do that again.

When we moved to Vegas, our car insurance rates jumped up. Maybe because of the combination of the awful drivers and Wild West judicial forum.

I find the driving in Vegas to be very aggressive, especially the taxis. There are also tons of Dodge Chargers with aftermarket rims/wheels who tend to drive very aggressively. Is Vegas the Dodge Charger capital of the world?

The lax advertising laws only explains the content of the ads, not the number. But the rest I agree with.

Phoenix is at least 5 degrees+ warmer than Las Vegas on average. Plus they get the monsoon weather in late summer. 115 + humidity!

I had a case where a woman claimed that her clitoris was burned when she was getting laser hair removal. We settled before pictures came into it, but every LDS attorney (as well as the judge) involved made a big show off not wanting to see the pictures. There were no pictures.

This is why I have limits related to where I am willing to have lasers pointed.

To each his own. I'll take the hot summers any day over snowy winters.

When I moved here from Utah, my rates actually went down. Allstate in Utah, USAA here. Might be because of the USAA part alone, but USAA was higher than Allstate in Utah.

I would say that the only people on this board that would qualify for brutal winters are those that live in Rexburg and Ontario.

Utah winters are meh. The inversions suck, but that's about it.

Besides the cold is good for you:
