Twenty degrees in Tucson is really cold and our vegetation isn’t used to weather that [...]
Tucson Cryogenic Snowmen

Buy Land They’ve Stopped Making It, or have they?
“Buy Land, they’ve stopped making it.” When I was a boy and my Dad told me that I thought it was one of the wisest things I had ever heard. It wasn’t until years later I found out Dad was just quoting Mark Twain, or Will Rogers.
