Captain’s Entry:
It’s
Saturday, and we’re in a stationary orbit somewhere between Laughlin, NV and
Wickenburg, AZ on our way to Starbase Phoenix. The First Officer is in the
galley whipping up breakfast, so I’m taking this opportunity to officially
close the Northern California Mission.
Yesterday we
landed in Laughlin to go to dinner with friends at the Riverside Casino. The
incredible heat there actually made the Starship’s floor too hot to walk barefoot
on because we were docked on sizzling tarmac. The air conditioners took several
hours to cool the starship, so I sent the First Officer off to dinner by
himself because I was worried it would quit altogether and fry the space dogs!
Luckily, it kept going and actually cooled us down to 78 degrees by bedtime.

First Officer’s Entry:
Yesterday was
a very long, stressful day as we warped from Bakersfield CA to Laughlin,
Nevada. The original plan was to stay over
in Needles, NV but we added the side trip to Laughlin because Laughlin is a
heck of a lot nicer than Needles and it gave us the opportunity to meet friends
Barney and Claudia who were spending the week there.
Laughlin was
running at 108 degrees and as the captain said, the AC’s were having a tough
time handling it. I left the her lying
under the bedroom ceiling vent trying to cool off and went to dinner
alone. I was not a happy camper.
I have
requested a transfer to another starship.
