Another Cloudy Day in Las Vegas

It's another cloudy day in Las Vegas and this is the eighth day of the 2008. I don't remember January being this cloudy in 2007. Of course, 2007 was a stressful year so I may be having a "senior moment" when it comes to the weather. I don't mind cloudy or rainy weather when I'm at home, but I don't care to drive in the rain.

A few years ago, you had to be care about driving west on Charleston. The Charleston underpass flood when it rained. That problem is taken care of, but now the problem is clogged storm drains all over town. People just throw their trash out of the cars and it clogs the drains. The clogged storm drains cause the streets to flood.

The next thing to do is educated the public on litter and the problems it causes. There is a telephone number people can call to report clogged storm drains, but I suspect the problem isn't going to be solved until people stop littering. Maybe some of the car dealer ships or gas stations could give away trash bags for people to put their litter in instead of throwing it on the street. Of course, people could always fill the trash bag and then throw it on the street.
