Today's weather made me feel introspective and quiet. And, true to my instincts, I had to get in the car and drive so that I could feel the open road under my wheels. I ended up in the charming artist town of Patagonia. Not much happened except for the amazing scenery I witnessed on the drive. It was a not talking day. So, with the exception of buying lunch and purchasing a couple of really great bargain clothes at a store called Camel Parts, I didn't utter a word. I liked it.

I sure can't complain about the rain we've had over these past few days. It's beautiful to see the skies darken and the fog hugging the tops of the mountains. And, there's just nothing nicer than the sound of the rain on the roof. Gee...you'd think that description would be accompanied by a couple of photos of the scenes described here. But, NOOOOO....I didn't take any. There's still a chance, however. I think we're gonna see a little more of that rain over the next few days. Please stand by...

Best news so far...the amazing air and ground fire crews contained the blaze. Nice. Heroes all! A big thanks to them!

Looks like we've got ourselves a situation here... At about 11 a.m. this morning, a fire began while crews were removing a power pole that showered sparks on the dry brush near the Divide in Bisbee. The fire rapidly spread up the hill and then down the other side.  The Highland Park area on West Blvd. has been mandatorily evacuated. Hopefully those homes will remain intact.  As I write this, I am hearing and seeing planes flying overhead to dump fire retardant on the fire and keep it from spreading. Hwy 80 is closed to thru traffic all the way to the junction at 90 heading toward Sierra Vista. Smoke fills the air. Since there are seven, count 'em, seven fire departments fighting the blaze, I'm hoping for the best. 

Jennifer & Dot at the Grand Opening on April 24th This That and The Other: Sun and Warmth Part 3 How fun is this! Just another happy traveler posting on their blog about their experience in Bisbee. She took some really good pics of the place and of Old Bisbee.  I like it!

As many of you well know, there is rarely a dull moment in Bisbee. And, last night's 8th Annual Pimp 'N Ho Ball held at Club Kilimanjahro was the latest! DJ Pimp Daddy Jason was spinning the tunes...and, the crowd was dancing til the wee hours! Here are just a few photos I snapped while also managing to dance...even more can be found on my Facebook album . Quite indescribable... Puspa and friend - all decked out Jason summons up a red and purple aura with his awesome tunes

Yesterday afternoon I took a walk in a new direction in my neighborhood I hadn't explored before. Of course, I had to take the camera along. WOW...This place just amazes me. Creativity and uniqueness exudes on every gate, driveway, front door and street.  Here are just a few pictures from my walk.
