Sorry, I'm pulling this quote from the distance past (as I try to catch up on two weeks of new posts) but it's too weird.

I was supposed to attend a conference in New Orleans in mid-September which had to be cancelled for obvious reasons. The conference has been rescheduled for Las Vegas in late October.

Does this mean Las Vegas will be underwater soon?
