“Do Not Spit“
No Spitting
A Mystery Sign
Apparently you can’t park here if you are taller than five feet. We had no idea what NWU means but that is the Capital building in the background. It could be affirmative action for short people. (I don’t think we are supposed to say dwarf anymore.)
Geese
This sign near the lake on Camelback Rd near the Biltmore Hotel is an attempt to control the Canada Geese problem in Phoenix. It also demonstrates how flexible the limit of compassion is. Geese can be starved so they will move but we don’t want to kill them. Termites or gophers would suffer a different fate.
Politically Incorrect
Hand Washing
“Wash your hands like you’ve been slicing jalapenos and you need to take your contacts out.”

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.”
