The Seedling

Last night a pretty decent monsoon hit the Valley.  I was able to catch this shot.  The sky looked awesome and scary.

LOL.

The Daily Show shows no mercy as it went after the AZ Legislature!!!!

Scott and I know the rep that The Daily Show’s Jason Jones “inspected.”

Well according to the Arizona Republic article I read today, the Valley could break the record for the most consecutive days in May of 100plus degree weather by Tuesday. Today marked the 12th day in a row and 13 is the record. I a pretty sure we will beat this hands down. And what the hell does this say for our summer? OMG!!!! I am so not looking forward to it.

Last Wednesday, a couple was severely injured in their SUV when the McDonald’s golden arches fell off the pole it was attached to and hit the unsuspecting couple. The woman suffered a fractured spinal column and the husband had 70 stitches in his head.

Holy cow!!! I don’t care how strong the winds are, a sign should not blow off the pole it is attached to.

I hope McDonald’s is assisting the family with their medical needs.

A Phoenix photo radar worker was shot to death early Monday morning as he sat in the DPS photo radar van. Someone actually drove up tot he car and opened fire on this unsuspecting worker. What the hell is wrong with this society? Luckily the photo radar van was able to capture a picture of the suspects car and witnesses were ale to follow the car and inform Phoenix PD of the drivers moves. As of this afternoon the police have a suspect in custody. I just can’t believe something like this would happen. My thoughts go out to the workers family during this time of grief and pain.

Monday night will find Sheriff Joe Arpaio on the Colbert Report at 830pm.

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about this.

Arpaio is missing an important border violence meeting to be on the show.

When I read the title to this article I had to do a double take. Really? A man was crushed to death by palm fronds? Holy shit!! I always thought it was a dangerous job to be p in a palm tree trimming away the fronds but OMG. This is unreal. A man was literally crushed to death under 2000 lbs of the palm tree’s tree skirt. My condolences go out to this workers family. And I have way more respect for this type of job.

Thanks to Scott I now know about this Culture Pass

If you have a library card you can go a check out a “Culture Pass,” which will provide up to 4 free admissions to various places such as museums. Times are hard for so many of us right now and this will provide a way for people to still go out and enjoy themselves. And for families to do things together. And for our city not to become stagnant in the economic turmoil.

How awesome is that!

I can’t wait to spread the word at work.

Dale Hausner was sentenced today to two life terms and 900 plus years in prison for the 72 convictions as the Serial Shooter. This is on top of the 6 death sentences he received last week.

This can never erase the horror he inflicted but I do hope the survivors and families feel that justice was served.

Justice is served!

Dale Hausner, who went on a rampage in the Valley a few years ago that resulted in 8 dead and many wounded, was sentenced this past week to 6 death sentences. And this is only his sentence for the 6 counts of murder for which he was found guilty. He is still waiting to be sentenced for the remaining 72 counts.
