Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.

Usually, we spend several days checking real estate listings and open houses. After one day of that here, there is good news. We are done with that job. We absolutely can’t afford to live here, so we are entering full vacation mode. 


It’s time for a hike. This morning, we did a steep but short four mile hike up Picacho Peak.



steep but well-marked.




A good day with spectacular weather and views.

We've always thot of it like Disneyland. I looked at Zillow....it was prett grim. $300k for a condo in "the projects." SHEESH!

Disneyland is a good name for it. I also saw it called Fanta Se. Buying a home here turned out to be a fantasy. Even if we really stretched financially, the numbers just didn’t add up. It’s also much grittier than our last time visiting. Lots of signs of drug problems and organized panhandlers. Reality beyond the Plaza and the Railroad District.

If you're still there, two suggestions:

Go about halfway up Canyon Road & visit a few galleries. The Nedra Matteucci Galleey handles classical work. Not my taste but interesting to see.
