And here I sit in Boston. Sigh! The temperature range in Gerlach is from 96 -36 degrees today. Hot and cold. It gets dark (and therefore cold) on the Playa around 8:00 p.m. That's 11:00 p.m. here on the East Coast, so you're going to have to stay up past bedtime to view the burn. Maybe you go to bed later than I do. Or do you "go to bed with the chickens?" My mom used to say that. It meant really early.
When the chickens come home to roost means something else entirely. Our good old farm expressions are falling by the wayside. What is the wayside, anyhow? You may not find out until "the cows come home." That means a very long time, because apparently cows, who do indeed view the grass as being greener on the other side of the fence, once free from the fence, do not return to their barn or pasture at night like the chickens coming home to roost.
Well, you get the drift. Meanwhile, the excitement is building on the playa. We can be there in spirit.
