Spent the day in short's sandals and a T shirt. What a beautiful day in every way. I'm writing this on the back patio as the sun is getting ready to set. The grass is green (two shades of green actually) and the air is still and quiet. The temp is in the … [Read more...]
The Button in the Urinal
By
The lease was up on the two cups of coffee I had while reading the morning paper. I headed into the restroom at the Oro Valley McDonalds. They are using the water less urinals which is a good thing in the desert. I looked down and noticed a button … [Read more...]

The Ides of March 2011

Oh, my, Et tu Brute. I feel like I'm being betrayed by time. Daylights savings time that is. It came to most of the country on Sunday, but not to Arizona. We have so much time on our hands that we don't want to make our days any longer than they already … [Read more...]
