Oh my. I had seen pictures of this truck before, but today I got to see it in person. I would have considered having a conversation with the owner, but he appeared to be involved in a deep philosophical discussion with someone else struggling to grasp the nature of reality. You gotta give this…

Don’t Stair
See that little protrusion to the left of Thumb Butte? Turns out it’s a very weird house built by an architect named Sukumar Pal in 1994. It’s called Falcon’s Nest. If you’ve ever wanted to live it a place that is considered to be the tallest single-family residence in North America, look no further. …
Oregander
Some pics from a Kaufman visit in late February. We drove a couple of hours to visit our friend Larry in Aguila, AZ. He was fixing up a house his dad had owned in an air park (entry gate shown above). All the houses had their own hangers. And a runway ran through the middle…
New Neighbor
Okay, so the other day, I get a notification from Experian that a sex offender has moved into my neighborhood. I decided I’d better find out who this neighbor is so I’d know who not to discuss politics with. I’m pretty sure I’ll see this guy coming though, check out the “Scars and Marks”…
White Pow(d)er
Things have gotten a little more serious on the weather front here. I woke up to a lot of white stuff on the…well, everything, really. A nice neighbor brought by a genuine snow shovel this morning so I could shovel my entryway and driveway. Fortunately, I had prior experience using a shovel and was able…
Now That’s Odd…
Ha! And you thought Fry’s was dead. Little did you know that it is alive and well in Arizona. They even have an organic produce section. And chips… The City Courthouse has a nice statue of a horse riding a man. You tell me. I guess my age is showing…
Foggy Morn
I forgot to post some cool photos I took on a rare (I’m told) foggy day a couple of weeks back. Above is the view out my front door when I went set out on my morning walk. I only had to walk up the street a few hundred yards to get above the fog…
Thumb Beaut
I went for a hike on Wednesday with some folks I hadn’t seen in more than 20 years (Mike worked for Easton). They moved here last year and are avid hikers. They love this place. A view looking out over the Hassayampa area of Prescott. You can see some (hopefully) controlled burns going on in…
Oh, now what?!
I woke up this morning and looked out my window. What is all this white stuff? There’s definitely a frost on the cactus this morning. Well, I guess there is something to be said for surprising weather. I thought I would have my hiking trail to myself at 8 on a snowy morning, but I…
Trailhead
So I took a walk one afternoon and ended up on a road called Trailhead. I didn’t attribute much to the name until this little path caught my eye. It turns out that it’s the entrance to a National Forest and Thumb Butte park. When you get to the top of the trail, you…
