This weeks SPT topic is the third element of summer "shade". When I contemplated this topic the first thing that popped into my brain was a book. Eragon by Christopher Paolini. 
There is a character in this wonderful book (written by a 15 year old mind you) called "the Shade"his real name is Durza. 
Do me a favor, read the book and stay far away from the movie.
It is just too hot to be outdoors period in Vegas. Even in the so called shade its still hot. Our "shade" here, the cooling shade, the escape from the heat kind of shade is simply an air conditioned indoor spot. Like the conservatory at the Bellagio.
When I ponder shade in a Vegas summer, I think of curling up on the couch inside my air conditioned home with a great book, and a creepy character called "the Shade".
(sorry I had to use an old self portrait, I'm on vacation)
