Downtown, the streets are lined with coffee shops and convenience stores. Some of them have the radio on, tuned to the only radio station that matters. A sandwich bar has its door thrown open, enticing in customers, letting out the smell of re-heated sausage rolls and the sound of Kevin's friendly voice.
Not that there are many people walking around -- it's a weekday, and not yet five. Most everyone out is out on business. A policeman patrols, whistling tunelessly, a spring in his step. A teenager skitters around, cheerfully handing out flyers. She's trying not to squint too much as the sweat rolls down her face. The desert sun is hot and dry and everywhere, turning the street into a blast furnace.
Just another day in paradise.
