Sadly, the same thing will happen here.; 12/1/13, 9:45 AM

Michelle Dulak Thomson said...: Agreed, Balfegor. I like the LED idea, but not the "Let's use all the colors of the rainbow!" aspect. A subtler swath of the visible spectrum, or maybe white or pale yellow light, but in gradations of strength?; 12/1/13, 11:19 AM

My parents were attracted to it for the desert climate for their arthritis. It boomed for awhile in the 70's and 80's. Then the Landers Earthquake killed real estate values in the 90's and it never recovered after that. Lots of the abandoned shacks became meth labs and burned down. The desert is a naturally beautiful place in the Spring and Fall. Not so much in Summer or Winter.; 12/1/13, 4:18 PM
