Draining the Swimming Pools in September

Cool water equals death in the Las Vegas desert. More children are found dead in swimming pools. The parents leave for one minute. The child heads towards the comfort of the swimming pool water. Deaths are announced on the news each evening. Many children die in Las Vegas by being attracted to the water of a swimming pool. When I edit a book, I tune the world out. If I am writing, the rest of the world away from the paper seems so distant. Children need attention. Las Vegas is a town for adults. Using the past tense, Aspen was a mining town. Years ago, Denver attracted gamblers the way Las Vegas attracts card players now. Today Las Vegas is a mining town for adult tourists. This town is no place for children. Now that I have children, it is time to leave Las Vegas, Nevada.
