My parents lived in Bakersfield for a year or so back in the early 1980s, so I always remember the ambiance, and the intense heat!

An unusual city with its own distinct character. Just the name, Bakersfield, conjures up a feel, a smell, vision. And it can be hotter than blazes!

Beautifully written, Sharron. The scene is atmospheric and very descriptive. I felt like I was in the barroom for the duration of this chapter!

Hmmm…I may have to click on the “introduction” link now… 😉
