Extreme heat danger AKA Death Valley. This is the lowest point in the US at 280ft below sea level and also the hotest with the record temperature of 57 degrees C. The US has lots of space so it is surprising to see that people choose to live here at the aptly named Furnace Creek.
Furnace Creek has a parched golf course, a shop and lots of Indians.
The highest point in the contiguous US (Mt Whitney) at over 14,000ft looms over the valley. We drove to the also aptly named Dantes View point to see the lowest and highest point simulaneously. Death Valley is a national park, it has unusual rock and salt formations and the inevitable lack of budget accomodation that we have grown to expect.
Death Valley is best seen late or early in the day. This is because it looks better but also because you are not going to die in the heat. At 5pm it as hot as Vegas mid day.
We had to drive 3 hours to the next town to find somewhere to stay. The place we are staying is best seen at night (so that you don't see it) but there is no escaping the smell. It has a massive mineral plant and not a lot else. Poor Liz doesn't even have a TV - it does not work. The cockroaches didn't help either.

Tya I also think that the fluctuations are very real. More kids are back in scoohl, teachers, etc. Many of these places have the standard windows browser because these people do not have admin privileges so they are forced to use IE. That is the main reason behind it being still so popular.Some people have both IE and a Mozilla so they use different ones some applications only open previews in IE even when Mozilla is the default browser so they have to be ahead, plus people who have no idea anything else exists and new PC owners.IE already has an unfair advantage. I think the PC manufacturers need to start installing other browsers on systems, sure would be more useful than the 30-day trial antiviruses.
