Fever in the Desert

Written: Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 - El Centro, CA

It looks like were are driving through some kids sandbox. We're passing through the Sonoran desert onroute to Slab City. The climate is so much warmer here than on the coast. Yesterday we spent the entire day at Ocean Beach north of San Diego. Geoff's really sick and we ended up spending the entire day in the van. We just hung out playing guitar and listening to music and that when we discovered the best game ever that would occupy the next three hours. We were playing this game where one of us puts on the ipod with headphones and the volume turned way up. you randomly select a song, then you have to sing the song until the other person guesses which song it it. sounds easy but it isn't really, and it's the funniest thing ever, especially when you venture into the hip-hip genre. That was yesterday's sick day, but today the fever is getting worse, and the desert heat isn't helping, poor Geoff is just getting sicker and sicker
We had to get the help of a reddy ice block to help bring down the fever. It's so hot - crappy weather for a fever.
