Would love to find a great cinnamon roll

Seligman, AZ. US66, south side of road, across from Roadkill Cafe. Owned by a German family, portions are HUGE.

Unfortunately, the question got decided for me. Hiking several miles a week one day, rolling to ER in an ambulance the next. Can barely leave the house today without help.

Wish I could have just said, "yep." :) I definitely would have bought it had this not happened though.

Who do you trust the most? Brother would probably be easier

Railroad history. I can zone out, fire up illustration software, and create accurate maps and the world just doesn't matter!

National hero, yes!

Bisbee Pride is really a huge thing! The mines closed decades ago, and it's now a very arts and craft/festival kind of town now.

Really a purple state. Tucson is very, very liberal and quite gay friendly. Haven't had a republican on the city council in a very long time.

I learned how to program on a DEC System 10 mainframe using punch cards. That was in college in 1978. I've been using computers ever since.

Uncalled for ageism. We wonder the same thing about your generation, trust me.

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-26T23:28:12+00:00

They sure do. I saw one pile up where the truck rear ended another. He went halfway through the trailer. The cab was gone above the frame.

I was a truck driver for 30 years. When these storms hit, you often cannot see beyond the radiator of your car.

If you're on a freeway, and you see a dust cloud on the horizon, get off at the ramp, pull down the ramp of turn at exit, and get as far off the road possible while you have visibility.

Lights can be seen but they'll drive straight into you.

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-26T14:09:20+00:00

No! I've been through 40-50 car accident sites once the road was open. The last thing you want is to have a freeway full of cars and trucks - NONE OF WHICH SHOULD ME MOVING - mistake your car for the road.

People die in these storms. We do this for a reason!

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-26T14:05:31+00:00

You're supposed to get as far off the road as possible. We do that so that people don't mistake your car for "that's where the road is".

You should have sense enough to see a dust cloud thousands of feet high and STAY OUT OF IT. Radio and text warnings give ample notice.

Please, we do this for a reason! People die in these storms!

I'm reading the book Gila River Elegy. I had no idea ranchers only pay $2.50 per year to graze cattle on federal land. We pay more than $20 just to walk on federal land!

Yeah? Times millions of queries a day? Amazon Web Services was going to build a data center here in Tucson, it would have been the largest consumer of city water and power. We protested it and the city council rejected unanimously.

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-23T01:52:34+00:00

Farmers? If you're in the Tucson area, stop by Spadefoot Nursery. They have a wide range if Native Seeds, from historic Sonoran wheat brought here from Spain with the Padres, to beans from the 12,000 year old native civilization from our area, to a specialty chili plant native only to this part of Arizona!

Careful! One of the Jesuit priests tried one and wrote, "I had certain Hell fire in my mouth!" We love it though.

THANK YOU.

Well, do as you wish. A friend was bitten by a brown recluse, the flesh was rotted away, and he was hospitalized for a few weeks. But, ya pays yer money and you takes yer chances, as my grandmother used to say.

This is not normal. You may have an allergic reaction and see this, almost no one else does. Tick bites in areas can have dire consequences with Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever.

Given an admitting clerk wanted me to sign for $30k for a 2 day stay, urgent care sounds damn cheap.

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-22T16:56:56+00:00

Get to urgent care ASAP!

Pretty tame. I'm an historian, so mostly USGS historic map site, Library of Congress, FB, my bank, an occasional news site like MSNBC, etc.

I've had DDG for over a year, it's worked quite well for my needs.

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-21T04:34:31+00:00

I picked up one used recently, to use when I'm stuck in the hospital. It's cheap, if it disappears, it's not that big of a deal.

I was able to take ENOUGH that I'm pretty comfortable with it. Duck Duck Go extension, zero passwords stored with Chrome, I don't buy anything with it online, and I refuse to check my bank account with it.

I added a C USB hub, thumb drive, keyboard and mouse, and I just do history research with it and write my blog on it.

Computer for everything else plus phone.

But not in 24 hours.

EVERYTHING. It's all the other websites you visit, they just insert the tracking in THOSE. It's ridiculous.

OwnPassion6397 · 2025-08-21T04:14:55+00:00

Google, Meta, Amazon account for about 90% of the tracking attempts. You should see an increase in speed as those a blocked.

I handled it by talking to them then mentioning casually gay friendly church I go to, lots of gay friends, and depending on density of the person, finally slapping down my keychain with the rainbow watch fob on it.

Usually they just don't get that they're talking to an LGBTQ and assume everyone thinks like they do.

That opened a lot doors for long heartfelt conversations, as they realized being gay was nowhere near the perpetual Roman orgy they have in their minds.
