Rain all night, letting up by light of day.
We still have high clouds, and the pavements are all soaking wet. But…it looks suspiciously like whatever this is will blow away.
Hmmm…. Reading the local news leads me to think I ought to blow away, myself. Good GAWD, has this place LosAngelized!
Cops shoot a sh!thead who was spraying the streets with bullets in our old neighborhood. This incident began in front of the Basha’s and Safeway stores where I used to do all my grocery shopping. Sixteenth Street and I-10 is right down the road from the first apartment I rented in Phoenix.
Phoenix “braces for fiscal challenges”: read “expect still higher taxes!”
Do I really wanna keep living here???
Hm.
Offhand, I can’t see anything better that I can afford. Scottsdale is outta my price range, by a long shot. Tempe, Mesa, Chandler: not my style. Sun City/Youngtown: been there, done that, ain’t doin’ it again. Other towns around the state: Boondock living is decidedly not my style.
Even when we had the ranch, up on the Mogollon Rim, we would drive into the city to do the shopping.
{sigh} I guess gunshots, stick-ups, and burglars are just part of Life in the Big City.
Sometimes I do find myself wondering, though: who needs it?
