Why yes, it makes perfect sense that a hangman’s noose would be the summer project for some of Arizona’s youth.
Happy Friday from the wild, wild West!!

I know this picture sucks, and you can’t read the license plate, but at least you can see the truck. I will fill you in about the rest…
The personalized plate reads: HED4EVR
Or maybe it was HED4REVR, with an additional - and unnecessary - R.
I’m sorry I’m not as accurate as I should be, but I was so blown away (hey-o!) that I became more focused on following him to try and get a good picture than remembering exactly how he was expressing himself via his state issued vehicle identification plate.
Oh Arizona…

I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly…
There is currently a “Remember September 11th” tribute/memorial on one of the local radio stations for the lunch hour. The station is having people call in and share stories of where they were and how they were affected by the happenings of that day. Then the DJ asks for the song they were really into at that time, so they can fill the memorial hour playlist.
This, of course, led to choked-up memories followed by a request to hear Bootylicious.
(As I’ve been typing this though, they’ve started calling it a “2001 Mix” instead. This is probably a good call.)

College America - this is career education the way it should be.
And apparently that means: in the old Circuit City at Metrocenter mall.

Bienvenido/Welcome to the Arizona Electronic Payment Card Program - sponsored by CHASE! CHASE what matters… unemployment.
I’m so glad they found a way for a big bank to profit from my personal information and decision to seek assistance from the state. Cheers all around for economic security and recovery!!
Being a recipient of Unemployment Insurance in the state of Arizona automatically makes me a “customer” of CHASE, as illustrated in the following quote taken from “Facts - What Does CHASE Prepaid Cards Do With Your Personal Information?” - a brief document included with the card.
“When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.”
That’s so weird cause I don’t remember personally deciding to become a CHASE customer. Hmmm…
This goddamn card better work at a Diamondbacks home game, or I call even further shenanigans.

Oh how I remember when you used to come and see me often. Every summer, knocking on my window or on my door… I miss you. And your red, red skies. The scent of creosote and dust on my aluminum blinds as I pulled them down and anxiously awaited you, just to see what you might do to my life this time. Just to remember how insignificant I am in this world. Just to know I was a piece of a necessary pattern of the desert we’ve done oh so much to destroy. With our population bursts and concrete. Buildings where there were fields. Houses where we once got our food. Heat, heat, heat. A century’s old saguaro shriveling up somewhere off the freeway, transplanted to make room for an outlet mall in the desert. Where we used to go in summer. To feel the cool night of life finally resting. See the stars and watch the sky turn that red we always knew would come.
It’s unfortunate that it no longer comes. It’s unfortunate that we just can’t understand why. Especially everyone from everywhere telling us: This is nothing! You call this a monsoon? Well no, not really. Not anymore. And it’s one more piece gone that reminded me I was a creature of the desert, not of the mall.
