A Busy Week
It’s been a crazy week between the election and work. I just haven’t found much time to write anything. Just an update on the final numbers of Prop 102 here in Arizona. It’s not good news but it could have been a whole lot worse.
No trackbacks yet.
Arizona Weather
Last week we had rain… lots of it. Consider this… Phoenix normally gets about 7 to 8 inches of rain a year and last week we got almost 3.5 inches. That’s kind of nuts to think about. Amazingly, there wasn’t much street flooding in the metro area, so that was good. The back yard of [...]

This evening I was watching the live vote from the House of Representatives on HR3962 (Health Care Bill). Watching voting on an issue is exceedingly boring but, at the same time, very interesting.
