Politically Incorrect
“Dead Indian Memorial Rd“ Really. Don’t the city fathers and mothers of Ashland, Oregon know that this name has to be changed or they will be mocked mercilessly and justifiably.
Signs
Hand Washing
“Wash your hands like you’ve been slicing jalapenos and you need to take your contacts out.” Sign in a restaurant restroom in Hood River, Oregon.
What is god?
“IS TV GOD”? or “IS GOOGLE GOD”? I have been arguing that Google is god lately. The internet may have killed the TV God. Gods come and go to fit the needs of society as was argued by David Lewis-Williams in Conceiving God.
One Job
Welcome home to Phoenix. On the good news front while we were gone they did repave Camelback Rd. Note I had to relearn how to markup in Apple Photos. I didn’t use the skill for a year and it took an hour to relearn.
How Much Farther?
Or Sometimes there is a dichotomy between encouragement and truth. Which do you choose? Choices have consequences.
Not Just Desert
Most of what people call “desert” is not desert it is dry land forests. Some are Saguaro Forest, some are Joshua Tree Forests, some are Mesquite Forests and there are many other varieties and of course lots of Mixed Cactus Forests. Once you start to see Arizona as a forest it can change the way you see our terrain. “Look there’s a grove of Teddy Bear Cactus.” or “See how the Ocotillo stand is growing on the north side of the wash.”
Sanitized by…..
It isn’t enough to sanitize, you also have to leave a physical sign that the area has been sanitized. Thank you Pedro! And so the pandemic response enters the “Security Theater” phase. Like taking off your shoes at the airport it is a response to the need to “do something.” If you want to do something Wash Your Hands again.
