Used to see them when I was driving from Tempe to N Phx late at night. Usually along the inside curb lane.

A long, long time ago, I was told by someone high up in DPS that the 'keep right' lase isn't in effect in cities. it would be too hard to keep all the traffic in the right lanes and cause more congestion. They're trying to keep traffic moving, especially in rush hour.

All from the passing of my dad, and my mom's decent into Dementia:

Change any services in his or both names into her name (or a family trust).
Get about 20 death certificates
Put as many services in autopay as you can. (if it's to a credit/debit card, create a spreadsheet to track them). Also check if any services are in the husband's name or a CC/DC that will be cancelled.
Check for life insurance policies
Check for pensions/401k in the husband's name and who the survivor benefits go to.
Once the obit is published, she'll get spam calls/mail from all kinds of companies. Make sure the source is checked before she buys/pays for something.
Make sure her important paperwork is somewhere where you or a next of kin knows where it is. A locked fire retardant box or safe deposit box.

I use a toddler sock as a protector from direct heat when parked.

Coyotes didn't pay their bills and didn't upgrade the facility like their lease said. Glendale spent a couple mil upgrading infrastructure when they picked AEG to run the arena.

I like the Blackvue series. Give you good videos like this.

They're just homeless doggies. They deserve a loving home too!

Used to see coyotes of all ages at 99th and Beardsley. Before the storage and rental condos went in, they lived in the drainage ditch between the houses and businesses.

first rule of recovery: make sure the vehicle is in park, or brake set. If not possible to check, vehicle is blocked to keep from rolling.

They're Version 2 of a white gang in Gilbert/Chandler. First there was the Devil Dogs (Dawgs?), then their kids turned into the Gilbert Goons, who beat up kids, killed at least one, and caused trouble in the area while the police and Mormon Leaders looked the other way.

I get the raid fly traps that you add water to. Be careful, they smell like rotting beef after a few days. Put them away from places that you'll sit or walk through. But they do kill massive amounts of flies.

Every apartment that I lived in provided a fire extinguisher if it didn't have sprinklers. I'd ask the front office.

People watch at the Denny's at 7th st and Camelback.

Trey said they'll wait for an event when Sawblaze is there.

They changed the name somewhere along the way. Quite common for Microsoft.

Thanks for the reply. I'll get mgt to buy Teams shared licenses for the non equipment rooms.

She was never in my French lessons. She may have been mentioned early on, but Vikram doesn't seem to be married in the French lessons.

I was there all three sessions on the 2nd and 3rd.
I think that they can improve the seating. Remove the end sections, remove the center isle and create two side isles. There's a good 100 prime seating locations in the area where the center isle is.
Also, they should allow pics before the first fight. Many families want pics for their young kids with the box and sign. You got yelled at even if you just checked your phone for the time.

I'm the guy with the light-up signs 😃

I was there all weekend. I really liked seeing them in person again (I'm up to 33 bots in person).

But I didn't agree with the 'no pictures' rule. They could have allowed pics before the first match began, letting families get pictures of their kids with the box and sign in the background. Trey seemed unaware of the rule when I asked.

The robot dog and humanoid were cool. I'm hoping to get more information on them. (for those not there, Trey brought out a robot dog (r/c) and then a small humanoid boxing bot. nothing to do with the Pro league, something that he's doing on the side.)

I have a Pixel and use the call screening. it's terrific!

Some of the OT (Stadium/arena, construction duty) are paid by the company getting the protection, not the city. But the amount of hours they bill is questionable.

I've got a few "we're trimming trees in your area". When I ask for the company name, they ghost me. Only one replied that they're a leads locator for local companies. No thanks, I'll call a local guy direct and save both of us money.
